The Hijet Truck, in context

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.

Odometer at 50,557 miles, call it 81,400 km. Daihatsu kei vehicles of this period arrive across a wide band of readings, and this one falls in the middle of it.

The configuration

A four-wheel-drive Hijet is the configuration Daihatsu sold to Japanese farms and construction trades, and the body options reflect it — this is the chassis that got the tippers, the lifts and the power-take-off drives. Drive runs rearward from the under-cab engine with a selectable front axle, so the truck behaves as a rear-driver on tarmac and brings the front wheels in only when asked.

Mid-band pricing on a kei truck generally reflects a sound, unremarkable specification — the four-wheel-drive, five-speed, flat-bed combination that the majority of buyers are looking for in the first place.
