What the U42T Minicab is

U42T is the four-wheel-drive Minicab truck Mitsubishi built from 1991 to 1998, with the 657cc 3G83 three-cylinder beneath the cab. Work specifications of this chassis were offered with a two-speed transfer case and a crawler gear, and the Minicab was one of the few kei trucks sold with a factory power-take-off for driving a tipper or a pump. Mitsubishi also supplied this generation to Nissan as the Clipper.

Odometer: 79,000 miles, near 127,100 km. The 3G83 was Mitsubishi's standard kei commercial engine for two decades, which tells you what duty cycle it was engineered around.

Why this configuration

Mitsubishi set the Minicab up as a work vehicle more deliberately than most of its rivals, and a four-wheel-drive example is the specification that reflects that: an under-cab three-cylinder driving the rear axle, a selectable front axle, and on the work trims a factory power-take-off to run a tipper ram or a pump directly off the gearbox.

This sits in the cheapest band of the market. At this level a 1998 Mitsubishi Minicab Truck is competing with used garden machinery and utility vehicles on price while offering a cab, a heater and a licence plate, which is the argument most buyers at this end are making.
