2000 Subaru Sambar EFI 4WD, 2Hi-4Hi, EL Gear, PS, AC, Airbag, 5MT · 20,318 mi

2000 Subaru Sambar EFI 4WD, 2Hi-4Hi, EL Gear, PS, AC, Airbag, 5MT, polar white over its original panels — a Japanese domestic-market kei truck held in our US stock. Gearbox: manual. The chassis plate reads TT2-072859.

A little context on the TT2 Sambar

The TT2 is the four-wheel-drive version of the last Sambar truck Subaru designed itself, built from 1999 to 2012 with the 658cc EN07 four still mounted behind the rear axle. Fuel injection was standard across this generation and a supercharged EN07 was offered in the range. Because Subaru switched the Sambar to a Daihatsu platform afterwards, the TT2 is the final four-cylinder, rear-engined kei truck anyone built.

The gauge reads 20,318 miles, or about 32,700 km as it was marked from the factory — a low figure by the standards of the Sambar's Japanese working life.

The configuration

The Sambar's layout does the heavy lifting here regardless of how the front axle is specified: a 658cc four-cylinder mounted behind the rear wheels, a completely flat bed floor with no drivetrain running beneath it, and a weight distribution that no other kei truck shares. Subaru kept that arrangement for decades after everybody else had abandoned it.

Above $12,000 a kei truck is being priced on specification rather than transport. A 2000 Subaru Sambar EFI 4WD, 2Hi-4Hi, EL Gear, PS, AC, Airbag, 5MT in this band is normally carrying hardware or a configuration that the ordinary working trucks do not.
