About the S210-series Hijet

S210 is the four-wheel-drive Hijet of 1999 to 2004, built to the post-1998 kei dimensions with the fuel-injected, twin-cam 659cc EF. Daihatsu offered this chassis in more factory configurations than any rival: flat bed, deck van, panel van, scissor-lift, hydraulic tipper and power-take-off driven bodies all left the line on the S210. Low-range transfer cases and locking rear differentials were available on the work specifications.

Odometer at 63,683 miles, call it 102,500 km. Daihatsu kei vehicles of this period arrive across a wide band of readings, and this one falls in the middle of it.

In use

The Hijet's strength is the breadth of what Daihatsu built on the chassis. The same cab-over truck left the factory as a flat bed, a tipper, a scissor lift, a mobile kitchen and a dozen other things, all engineered around a 660cc engine under the cab floor and a frame rated for the kei class payload.

This is the middle of the kei truck market. A 1999 Daihatsu Hi-Jet EFI DLI Twincam 12V 4WD, 2Hi-4Hi, 5MT at this money is the ordinary working configuration rather than a specialist one: a straight bed, a common chassis, and the parts supply that comes with a model sold in volume.
