    I just ordered a 2022 Hijet Jumbo from Next Ride. Its the CVT but its going to live in the city 95% of the time so I'm okay with it being slow.

      Nice. You'll love it. Don't worry about the comments on these videos claiming the truck not able to do 100km/h because it certainly will without any issues on the freeway. Congrats on your order.

    Love your video and I totally want this exact truck I’m in USA and I definitely agree with what you said about being fuel efficient and being practical I got a 97 acty street van 5 speed mint condition. The USA is on a state by state basis with some states having loopholes with tagging and registration. There is a hand full of states here that allow new kei vehicles under 25 years old with a NON interstate tag printed on the bottom of the plate and there is other states that will only allow them if they are 25 years old then you get a regular tag with no exemptions from what I’ve seen. In Alabama where I am you can tag and title brand new kei vehicles with the non interstate tag it is black and white with no customizations allowed you get what they give you and if you have a kei vehicle over 25 years old you get the same tag that says non interstate use. Me and 2 other guys in town have this tag and our plates begin in AOA1 the last 3 digits are different my buddy has this new dihatsu hijet jumbo except the ones that are available here in USA have lift kits and off road setups. I want a more street setup with 5 speed like this one

    Ross Reviews Again you're wrong the CVT easily does 100km/h I've done 120 km/h buddy. So has my fellow hijet CVT owners. You've mentioned GPS equipment was used but that still proves nothing because no Speedo is 20 km/h off. I also happen to know the owner of the green hijet you tested he's proven beside my GR Yaris staying beside me at 120km/h. So you're gonna say my GR Yaris is off too buddy?

    • @RossReviewsau
      @RossReviewsau  Год назад

      i can tell you that the CVT absolutely struggled to hit 100kph.. im sure it can on the HWY but i was doing over a half mile and couldnt get it to hit 100kph (yes using the Dragy timing gear) it might say your doing 120 but i can assure you its not

    • @Stevo_1986
      @Stevo_1986 Год назад

      Again that’s incorrect we hit 100 entering the freeway on the on ramp which is not half a mile lol. Whatever you experienced that day has never happened to us your equipment is wrong. Like i said no speedo is off by 22km/h as you are implying according to your equipment results.
