Hijet Truck: the short version

The Hijet generation Daihatsu launched in 1999 was the first drawn to the enlarged kei standard, and it moved to the twin-cam, fuel-injected EF-VE version of the 659cc triple — a clear step in refinement over the single-cam engine before it. The Jumbo extended cab, which trades a little bed length for a reclining seat and a storage shelf behind the driver, belongs to this range.

The gauge shows 75,692 miles, around 121,800 km. Daihatsu has been building kei commercials since the 1950s, overwhelmingly for working owners, and readings in this range are a normal part of that history.

In use

The appeal of a 4WD Hijet is the combination of a sub-3.5-metre footprint with drive to all four wheels: it will get into a space a pickup cannot and still haul itself out of a wet field. Daihatsu built this chassis for working customers, with the engine under the cab floor driving the rear axle and a selectable front axle for when the surface demands it.

The $5,000 to $8,000 band is where most imported kei trucks sit, and it is where supply is deepest — which means the most choice of year, drivetrain and body style. Our price guide breaks down what moves a truck between bands.
