It was yesterday when we talked about one of the smallest vans on the planet. The adorable Suzuki Carry looks like a fully serviceable truck with a decent cargo area. However, the same cannot be said about this Daihatsu truck.
It’s called the HiJet and was built in 2013. It’s almost identical in dimensions to the Carry, but the four-door cabin layout creates what is literally the smallest cargo box on a truck we have. never seen. This vehicle is for sale but we’ll get to the details in a minute. Let’s take a look at the basic specs first.

This small truck is powered by a 660cc injection engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission, delivering power to all four wheels. In fact, this is a powertrain setup quite similar to that of the Suzuki Carry. It even has the same front mid-engine layout.
The HiJet was sold as a truck until late 2014 when its successor debuted with a more refined interior and improved occupant safety. It was available under different brands and names depending on the region, but all were built at the Ikeda factory in Osaka, Japan.
Interestingly, a version with a 1.3 liter engine was also developed and sold under the Daihatsu and Toyota brands. Due to the bigger and more powerful engine, it could not be considered a kei car.
This particular example is one of the latest products and has pretty good standard equipment for its size. On board you will find air conditioning with temperature control and a three-speed fan, power steering, 12-volt power outlet and more. With only around 29,000 miles on the clock, it appears to be in fair condition.
The small truck is currently available from US Mini Truck Sales for $ 17,900. It is important to note that you cannot register it for use on public roads and the seller says it is sold as off road use only under federal law.
