I wish this brand would come back to the USA.
Fantastic economy without the unwanted bells and whistles
Which bells and whistles did they leave out? Ambient lighting and an umbrella in the door?
it all points to the regulators not rewarding the big three for not building the smaller pickups....would save the US economy on fuel use for these smaller trucks....but nope, the sliding scale on fuel economy punishes the fuel economy of smaller trucks out of the market. best truck 4 cycle 8 foot box carry 500 to 1000 pounds, most working man trucks dont need to be 100 000 dollar monsters.
@@blito3wotSeveral have max speeds of 30-60mph, little weight, and no crumple zones. I don’t think giving a ton of people these is exactly a bright idea unless you force them to stay off both state highways and interstates, which is difficult on its own. Yeah they’re good for fuel economy, but they’re made for Japan, which isn’t exactly known for the big, high speed streets like we have here. All in all, I’m not saying you shouldn’t, but I’m saying it’s probably better to think about it a bit more first.
@@cincinnati4391 just enforce traffic impedance laws. the problem will work it's self out. if a few assholes not acting right was justification for limiting everybody we'd have the modern US government that everyfuckingbody hates.
US automakers have better lobbyists.
Who ever buys this. PLEASE, for the love of all things sacred. Take good care of this truck, it is so pretty.
Probably the nicest mini truck ive ever seen. This is the kind of stuff we need to see on the roads more
Daihatsu doesn’t exactly have the best track record in Japan hence why this is made by Toyota.
Unless you mean banned from certain roads, then no we don’t. They have zero crumple zones and if they get hit by any larger car at 55mph the kei truck driver will most often die.
If you want them in cities or on farms, sure go for it, but you’re gonna need a lot of new paperwork (which the government isn’t exactly known for doing) just to give them specific regulations and laws. That’s why 1500 type trucks are so popular with brands now, because they circumvent a lot of regulations given to smaller utility vehicles, along with smaller vehicles in general.
@cincinnati4391 if motorcycles, polaris slingshots and literally things like a Ford Model T can still be road registered and legally driven. So can this.
I have a similar (but much older) one, but I would never use it on Ohio roads, too many rednecks who would crash into it on purpose just cause its not a Ford (or Chevy, or Dodge). I love it for farm use, tho; way better than a Rhino or Mule.
@@cincinnati4391 Newer US vehicle regulations have both led to much safer vehicles and have also stifled innovation. Im of the personal opinion some of these regulations especially on imports should be eased a little bit. My solution would not be to ban this segment, but allow their sale with the requirement the dealer informs the seller there is a higher likelihood of their death in a collision. Make them sign a legal waiver or something. That way the driver can make an informed decision about their own life choices.
Like another person said how can motorcycles, slingshots and certain ATVs be road legal without batting an eye but all of a sudden a little truck with "no crumple zone!!!" is the epitome of terrible design?
I owned the 6 seater mini bus version of this van. The windows were one way glass & the bench seats clipped out, to fit on the roof rack. Dual sliding doors, turned it into a mini camper. Insanely useful bit of kit & very practical. ❤
My wife had a street legal Daihatsu Rocky. She drove that little mini jeep for 15 years. It had power brakes and A/C but thats all. Manual steering, door locks, window cranks, locking hubs etc. All basic.
It was a fun car. Removable rear roof. Full removable sun roof. Great in the snow.
Thankfully we are both under 5'6" because the car was SMALL. Cruising in 5th gear you had to shift to neutral to change the cassette tape. GREAT LITTLE CAR !
That's all you need. Anything but the basics will break down later.
😂😂😂😂😂
Really wish any vehicle maker made "all basic" vehicles -- would really like to have an all basic extend cab (space behind the seat for groceries/tools) truck, preferably with those old style triangle windows on the drivers side and front passenger side windows for air flow ... less AC needed.
@@suezbell1 those triangle windows were banned because they weren't made of safety glass & lodging themselves in the carotid artery turning even minor accidents into fatalities.
@@matthewselby4865that's no fun... no vent windows. 😒
This is wonderful. Unfortunately the American public doesn’t know what’s good for them. This (as well as long bed, reg. cab pick ups) are what contractors need to actually do productive work. But the American public has all but ignored actual work trucks as of late. I’m tired of seeing people buy double cab pickups and then complain that they can’t fit standard 2x4 or plywood sheets in the back. Bring back regular cab pickups with 8 foot beds and this type vehicle.
A diesel Type 1 Technical would be worth starting a guerilla war for,, but not available stateside.
New Trucks now are mostly hot rods or luxury family vehicles full of the latest electronics and all the bells and whistles and unbelievably for this old timer expensive too!
I imagine it would be tiring worrying about what other Americans are doing. I have a family and love my mega cab. You do realize that you can fit Plywood in a 6 ft. bed right. All you have to do is drop the tailgate, and if you do that you can haul 10 ft. lumber easily by securing it with ratchet straps. Anything larger and a trailer works well since all trucks have a hitch receiver. I bet if you really think about it, the only people you've ever heard complain about truck bed size are the imaginary ones in your head and you. Most of my family and friends have extended cabs and I've never heard anyone complain, let alone to the point I'd be tired of hearing about it.
@@thomaswhite5928 what’s your problem? I don’t worry endlessly about what you or your misguided family does or thinks. You should stop imagining things that you don’t understand and give your small brain a rest. You’re what’s wrong with this country with your superior attitude towards people that have passed you by in your 20’s and compelled you to post nonsense in an attempt to gain an equal footing with real workers that construct rather than trying to look edgy.
1/3 of the country picked trump, You are absolutely correct, they have no idea what's good for them
I worked at a golf resort with 2 courses for just under 30 years. When I started there in 1990 they had 3 Daihatsu Hijets. They were 1986 models and were 2 wheel drive with 4-speed (governed at 25 mph). The governor was ignition cut-off. The engine was as smooth as can be, and the transmission and clutch always operated beautifully. One of them had no doors or roof and that one was a tan or beige color. The other two were white. All three of them had the same sides and tailgate as the one in the video. The two with doors were only used by one guy each, but the one with no doors could be used by anyone, first come, first serve. I always preferred it over the Cushmans, because it drove so nicely. I think all three were gone by the 2000s. Anyway, I watched this video just out of curiosity, because I saw a Hijet being towed on a trailer when we were on a road trip recently.
This unit would make a great off-road camper.
Great color on this one!
This would make a fine light-duty farm truck. It would also be fine to take camping equipment to a woodlot.
Daihatsu is a good brand as long as they make them in Japan.
This is what I really want. What is the price?
I would buy one in a heartbeat. I don't need all the bells and whistles just something simple.
This thing is sweet. Perfect for the farm.
Excellent ! Back to the retro 1980's wine-red truck color ( a Toyota exclusive ).
Back in the mid 80s we used to have these HiJets as utility vehicles for managing our golf courses. Ours were stripped-down versions that did not have a/c or doors for that matter. They were governed to only 15 mph. They haven't changed looks much however
I had a San-fu and it was opened up to 65 mph. Mine was tagged but man if u would have a wreck u would b the first one there lol
Two of ours had doors and were governed to 20 mph. See my earlier comment. They were great little vehicles.
I rented a Dahatsu Rocky suv diesel in Costa Rica for two weeks to drive around the country what a rugged vehicle
This little pickup is just awesome.
Unique little gift 🎁 at least it won't be a problem finding parking for travelers
Everything about this is so cool.2wd/4wd/ differential lock. Can be converted to flat bed. Cousy roomy carb with powered door locks/ windows. As well as manual transmission looks fun to drive and hvac controls! Ac and heat. Honestly I would rather have it over most Polaris sxs. This is probably half the money.
You mentioned everything but the suggested retail price.
Almost makes me wish i had a farm!
Love that!!! Want that!!
When they put the steering wheel on the left side I will be much more interested ! I do love the 5 speed, hi/low range and diff locks !
Same here. And a dump bed option.?
Matte metallic green//Slightly bigger tires//Decently sized front bumper.
What engine does this have? And A/C?
i used to work for a guy who owned a mail jeep. after i drove it a couple times i got used to it.
@@mikejohnson9118I run one of these in New Zealand so the steering wheel is on the right side! Mine IS a hydraulic dump truck version and absolutely the most useful vehicle on my farm. With its street tyres on its road legal here, with its ATV tyres on it goes where side-by-sides go, but carrying 1500lbs of fence posts or 6 sheep in a stck cage. Plus it has heating. I will never go back to an ATV on my farm.
Yes, left-hand drive is what we need here in Philippines.
This is an imported Kei car from Japan. As it is intended to be for the Japan only market the steering wheel is on the right side. There are Kei cars being imported to America due to certain laws.
Remember that Kei cars are small and can not meet any American road safety requirements.
Brilliant little truck. We had a Daihatsu terios absolutely amazing car never went wrong.
In Philippines have a lot this kind of vechile with different models.. Very good vechiles.. :)
These trucks are so mini cute 🥰
I have a crane service, and one of my customers has one of these, while waiting for a trucker to show I had a chance to eyeball it real close, LIKE!
Made by Daihatsu, not Toyota. Daihatsu is owned by Toyota, though. I have a 2023 Jumbo with basic package. Love it! Don’t need the 2wd and other extras. I hate the auto stop function. I wish you could disable permanently with a push of a button. Daihatsu is the best!
Do you think there would be enough room in the bed to install 2 metal tool boxes?
Toyota biggest shareholder and controller, but you can still buy stock.
How are you getting around the 25 year import rule to get this stateside?
@@andrewloranger key words here "off road". You can't drive it on public streets. It's the same deal with Chinese mini trucks and Kandi EVs.
@@AutoReport1 I understand that, I actually import street legal ones… my contacts in Japan aren’t even hip to me buying one of these for “off-road” use so I’m curious what the process is more than anything. **Editing this to also say that if you're importing these as "farm" vehicles that isn't exactly legit either.
Such a nice paint job.
Jumbo cab, that's cute.
Awesome mini truck. Loved the color.
Excellent. I like this. Great job all.
A lot of the features in the interior like start button and panel buttons are the same as my 2016 Tacoma
I’m getting one!
That looks cool I want one
Would love to have one to drive locally. They are becoming street legal in many areas.
and many areas are banning them from street use like Virginia. they just banned any 4 wheeled vehicle with an engine size less than 660cc, which outlaws all kei cars and trucks to be tagged in the state
I understand Georgia just banned them as well…
@@Clayson000 It's a shame, I am pretty sure they are doing this to outlaw ATVs and possibly side by sides driving on road, but these Kei trucks are entirely different vehicles. They should rework it to instead say 4 wheeled vehicle without enclosed cab. There's tons of ATV and SXS models with 1 liter or larger engines. ATVs/SXS are more of a nuisance since they are not designed to be road legal at all with regards to lighting and exhaust. In contrast, this truck shown has collision avoidance and auto start/stop for JDM road legality. Kei trucks aren't nearly as safe as American cars but these trucks also aren't able to be driven on the interstate where most heavy truck traffic exists. Same risk as riding a moped IMO.
@@matthewshultz8762 so the issue that I found out was they are to slow for the highway. Which I get since the older ones can barely go 55 on the highway but with the law it bas the kei car like mine, I have a 1996 Honda Today RS and it has no issue on the highway, I was luckily grandfathered in so I can still get tags on mine but I cant sell it to anyone in VA. In VA atvs and sxs are already banned for road use, so it was aimed at the kei cars, since they are pretty popular here. I just wish the US would get rid of the 25 year rule and the chicken tax, I want a honda s660 so bad.
They do not pass crash test standards or emissions standards in the US
Here in the Philippines, we convert the steering wheel from right to left. Mechanics here are pretty much familiar and knows how to convert the steering wheels. These kei cars we haul people not just stuffs.
Is it street legal? how much? Why can't salesmen answer the most basic questions.
My guess 20k
My bad it’s 30k
Thats a nice truck right there
I'm really thinking about buying one. I like the green color. It's just a simple work truck.
Dream pick up for a farm with 4x4 requirments
love it from mexico!
🤔Owned a Suzuki-Carry,2in. lift,oil heater,battery warmer it was an awesome lil truk to tool around in.😎
These things are dope
Would it kill yah to center the front axle in the wheel well?
Out of curiosity, what is the load weight carrying capacity & the towing capacity on these little gems.
I've heard it's around 800 lbs load and 1500 lbs towing.
Should have made it with a tilt cab
what does a hi jet pick up like the one twlked about cost to buy tax and all.?
Красивый,практичный аппарат
Looks usefull
would have like to hear it run and see it drive.
As soon as they make them street legal in Texas im selling my Tacoma and getting one been hoping and waiting for 10 years to get one
25 years and older not already legal in tx?
That thing is cool.
You could actually give us some info on this. How much? What's the gas mileage? How much weight will it haul? Duh! Will the local Toyota dealer service it? Can it be ordered via a local dealership?
What is the top speed for these trucks? Our interstates are posted 65mph, so aka 80pmh.
1.0 liter turbocharge diesel engine. That's what this little beauty needs.
No it doesn't !!
@@stackula99🤣🤣😂😂
Designing and building engines for cars is an expensive process. If the company has a small enough engine it could be retooled to work in this vehicle, but the vehicle was designed for the engine it has.
I would like to see a long stroke, 900cc, 3 cylinder, Naturally aspirated engine in this vehicle but I am not going to buy it and I am not someone that this is being marketed to.
Those hair blowdryers dont do much for an engine.
These are very cool little trucks. The only reason I don't own one is there is no room for my Border Collie & my Malinois. I don't go anywhere without my pups.
Damn that’s nice
Genial espectacular magnífico traer a la Argentina urgente gracias
daihatsu make a fantastic diesel used in the rest of the world.will it be avaleble in north america.??
i was wounding when these would come to the states..
Would like to see what can be done turning into a RV recreational vehicle.
"RV recreational vehicle"...
Redundant much?
i had a 4x4 sambar, older. reg'd in MT it was then legal on all hwys, even when i drove it to other states.
Wow, I don't know that they still make Hijet, last thing I saw on the street is Hijet1000, here I haven't seen the newest Hijet maybe because Daihatsu already have a good sales with the GranMax, the new Hijet head looks like recent Suzuki Carry btw.
They use these and the van types in Turkiye 🇹🇷 ...! With gasoline at 1.59 USD per liter ( ~6 USD per gallon ), it makes sense !
Is there a practical version? No fancy paint or a/c or power windows, just a mini work truck that people can use on their rural properties?
Clean
Do they sell in usa yet, left hand drive? And a tilt bed. This be perfect for my ranch and hunting
Reminds me of Huffer, the G1 Transformer mini.
Hey US Mini Truck Sales.....Can you get these things without an engine or gas tank? I want to build one up as an electric.
Do you have a basic price.?.
About $40,000 is what I heard some people comment! 🤢
@@ahenseda *10-Q*
and How much is that in US dollars.?.
10-Q again.!.
Website says $25,900
Do you sell the ones with the Steering Wheel on the left handed side????
Very good truck
Can you get one in four-door? I have seen four doors. A guy used to sell them over here in Louisiana.
How did you get a current gen hijet in the us?
I have a question, and I know I won't get an answer. Since the state of TEXAS has done away withvehicle inspections for regular vehicles (commercial still has to get inspected), could these be driven legally on city streets?
Ask yourself this question ... are those tiny smart cars and similar brand ones legal ?
can they be registered and driven on the streets?
They can. Depends on state
Wrecks wouldnt be so bad if vehicles everywhere were this small. Could save a lot of lives ❤
What is the "out the door price" for this?
A buck two fifty.
Man these are sweet! Anyone have experience or know any one that has tried to to make one street legal in Colorado?
台灣人民望早日開放大發小貨車來台灣哦
Greetings and cheers! From the Gulf of Mexico!
We can buy new models in the US? Are they legal in all the states? The older imports aren't legal for safety in mine.
Beautiful! Wouldnt work for my needs tho; I have a '91 S83p I bought battered, with rust and scratches and pieces falling off. It goes _anywhere_ (4x4 w/diff lock and offroad tires just like this one) it turns tight and will climb breathtakingly steep hills and carries a ton (well, 1/3 ton anyway) of stuff. I dont know what mileage it gets because the hillbillies I bought it from broke the odometer (presumably trying to turn it back, which was stupid cause it was over 20 yo when I bought it - who cares what the odo says at that point, especially in an offroad vehicle). But when I bang into a boulder or hear it scrape between thorn bushes I go "glad theres nothing left to hurt" - Id be terrified to use this one cause its too pretty. Plus I wouldnt want all those "power" things that can break, and I certainly wouldnt want to pay for them.
Love it
love it....
I'd buy one in a minute.
I love it!
what are the dimensions of the bed? what is the 'farming package'?
So big people can finally fit inside by moving the seat back more yaay
Awesome
Great truck and fantastic color
Push button start and keyless entry. You've destroyed the theme of that vehicle right there with those two....
Would have been helpful to give details of the engine capacity etc.
and maybe PRICE ?
They are from 500 cc to 709 cc if not mistaken price for older is seen at $5,000
@@jacksheet2395 They were 550cc in the 80's. Around 1990 they went to 660cc. Depending on brand 38-42 horsepower. Subaru Sambars have a rare supercharged model that's 54 hp. If you find a 25 year or older one stateside for $5,000 I promise you it's a rust bucket piece of shit. A decent one is going for $6400-7200. One that's low mileage and in great shape $7800 and up.
@@tomsewell2462 The new ones are a lot. $25,000 to $29,000 depending on options. Even a nice one over 25 years old so it's street legal in certain states is over 7 grand. Really nice one (straight, very little rust, low miles) is running you $8500 or more.
@@jacksheet2395 all kei trucks use the same 600cc 3 cylinder petrol engine. Generally they can achieve hiway speeds but their low gearing means they can carry payloads that a side-by-side would be stumped by. Definitely the most useful vehicle on our farm.
Nice truck, but I would trade all that power stuff (windows, locks, auto-start, etc.) for a hydraulic dump bed.
We need right side drive versions of these trucks for road use.
Real work truck
Perfect to haul dirt bikes or MTN bikes
Yes I'm wondering where can I go to buy One of your Truck's?
I want a cargo truck!
Here in Oregon. You can get them, but for off-road use or farming use only, which is fine with me. I just wish i could find one that is left side drive, not right
does it come in Left side drive
