1998 Mitsubishi Minicab V30 Special Edition 4WD, 2Hi-4Hi-4Lo, PS, 5MT · 17,277 mi

1998 Mitsubishi Minicab V30 Special Edition 4WD, 2Hi-4Hi-4Lo, PS, 5MT, calgary white over its original panels — a Japanese domestic-market kei truck held in our US stock. It is fitted with a manual transmission. It carries the chassis number U42T-0504347.

Background on the U42T Minicab

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.

The odometer sits at 17,277 miles, in the order of 27,800 km in the original units — a modest figure for a Mitsubishi kei vehicle returning from Japanese service.

What it is for

The 2Hi-4Hi-4Lo marking on a Minicab means a two-speed transfer case: high range for the road, low range for pulling. Low range multiplies engine torque through a second reduction, which is what lets a 660cc truck move a loaded bed up a slope at walking pace without slipping the clutch. Mitsubishi fitted this to the work specifications, often alongside a factory power-take-off.

This one is priced on enquiry rather than listed. Freight to your state is the main variable on a kei truck and we would rather quote it properly than publish a figure that turns out to exclude it — tell us where it is going and we will come back with the number.

How the purchase works

The 1998 build year puts it outside the 25-year window that restricts importing vehicles built to a foreign specification. Import documentation and titling are handled at our end, and we ship nationwide. Pricing on this vehicle is quoted per enquiry; tell us where it is going and we will come back to you.
