2001 Daihatsu Hijet Truck · 2WD · 37,600 mi

The vehicle on this page is a 2001 Daihatsu Hijet Truck, recorded as White, imported and road-ready for the paperwork stage. It came out of Japan as 2WD with a 5-speed manual transmission. Stamped on the plate: S200P-0065090.

The S200-series Hijet explained

The S200 codes are the rear-drive Hijets of 1999 to 2004, the first drawn to the enlarged kei standard. Daihatsu moved the range to the twin-cam, 12-valve EF-VE version of its 659cc three-cylinder with fuel injection, which was a real step in refinement over the single-cam engine before it. The Jumbo extended cab, which steals a little bed length to give the driver a reclining seat, belongs to this generation.

The reading is 37,600 miles, which converts to roughly 60,500 km. Daihatsu's EF three-cylinder was fitted to the Hijet across two decades and several body styles, so the engine family has a very long track record behind it.

What it is for

Rear-wheel drive is the standard configuration for Daihatsu's kei commercials and the one most of them were built in. Without a front axle and transfer case there is less to service, less to go wrong and slightly less weight to carry around, which on a vehicle with a 660cc engine is not nothing. For sealed surfaces — a yard, an estate road, a campus, a market — it is all the drivetrain the job needs.

Rather than list a figure, we quote this one when you ask. That way the number you get already includes getting the truck to your address, which is the part most online prices leave out.

Buying this one
