If you want a kei truck with all the fruit, now is your time
Factory extras include a nine-inch screen with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto alongside a digital rear-view mirror
The Daihatsu Hijet is the best-selling kei truck in Japan.
It’s held the title continuously for over half a decade, which says it all. This near-new and flagship “jumbo’ model was fitted with hard-to-find factory extras, making it excellent value for money.
It’ll happily sit at 110 km/h on the motorway. Its standard kit includes 4×4, a rear diff lock and Advanced Driver Assist systems (ADAS) like autonomous emergency braking. As a space-cab “jumbo” model, it features a conventional and comfy car seat with excellent lumbar support and sliding rails, which both enable taller drivers to fit comfortably. There is a lot more room in a space cab than a single cab.
Other standard features include keyless entry & start, power windows, dual airbags and parking sensors at both ends. It is a nifty and compact ute with dimensions of 3.39 metres long by 1.47 metres wide.
The Hijet Jumbo’s drop-side tray measures up at 1.70 metres long by 1.40 metres wide and will carry around 350 kg safely. There is a small bulkhead extension that allows slim lengths up to 1.90 metres to fit in the tray.
We provide federal-based vehicle compliance for all our Daihatsu Hijets, allowing for road registration in any Australian state. This one also comes with three months of NSW rego.
The 660cc three-cylinder engine is located in the middle of the vehicle in a longitudinal fashion, which creates a fantastic and ergonomic cab-over design. When the vehicle is not locked to 4×4, it is rear-wheel drive.
Huge amounts of steering lock result in a fantastic turning circle of 3.6 metres, and your forward-facing vantage point makes it easy to place the truck in tight confines or around tracks on your property or job site.
The car pictured – 2024 Daihatsu Hijet Jumbo Extra 4×4
This Daihatsu Hijet Jumbo is a top-spec ‘Extra’ model built in June 2024. It is finished in white with a black cloth interior.
It’s powered by a 660cc three-cylinder ‘KF’ engine that’s built by Toyota and known to go the distance. It features a automatic transmission with selectable 4×4 (otherwise RWD) and a rear differential lock.
As a top-spec ‘Extra’ model, it gets smart keyless entry and start, auto emergency braking forward and reversing, automatic LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, dual airbags, air conditioning, power windows, overhead storage and ABS. Factory options include a nine-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, steering wheel controls, digital rear-view mirror, tray edge protectors and a rear tray mat plus a rear interior storage bag.
The vehicle was sourced from USS Tokyo as a grade 5A example – in as-new condition. It comes with two keys, a log book and owner’s manual. This vehicle is as-new and presents as a new car would. It has never had any repairs and has not partaken in any hard yakka over its brief life so far. The tray is in excellent condition and the interior still looks and smells unused.
We hold a wide selection of spares for kei trucks, and have a service and repair network that extends from the Central Coast to the Southern Highlands. We offer competitive finance packages and affordable interstate transport.
