Background on 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 66,130 miles, call it 106,400 km. Daihatsu kei vehicles of this period arrive across a wide band of readings, and this one falls in the middle of it.

What the specification means

A tipper with low range is a deliberate working combination. The hydraulic bed does the unloading; the second reduction in the transfer case does the climbing, so the truck can carry a full load up a slope at the pace the terrain allows. One without the other leaves half the job to the driver.

This band covers the serious work specifications — heavy-duty and power-take-off driven dump bodies, scissor lifts, and the four-wheel-drive chassis with low range that go under them. These were expensive vehicles new and they have held their position.
