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
I have a soft spot for these little Kei trucks, my oldman had a Suzuki equivalent in the mid 2000's and I always thought these things would be ripe for a rotor conversion, scary but fun. Cheers for the review Jono.
Well mate it might have Jet in its name but that's just false advertisement lol,no it's cute looking like a puppy & does exactly what it was built for so no complaints from me,excellent review brother cheers.
Cheapest pickup in the UK we only get the jumbo £16000 on the road. They all seem to be green what I've seen we only have it in manual with the 660Turbo .
There is a few states that offer special plates Alabama is one of them it’s a black and white plate that says non interstate use only and you can easily cover it with a plate frame
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?
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
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.

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.
still a great run around vehicle! love them
Do you all not have the 25 yr old vehicle rule for the US?
@@lynchcreekmuzzy5759u just answered yr own question 🤣🤣.
@@lynchcreekmuzzy5759 I am in Australia
Handy little pick up....love your race changes...a real neck breaker...👍👍👍
great for in the city
That would be perfect for my handyman business more sensible than my v8 tonner which i love lol
You mustn't have many tools...
perfect for in the cities
A mate of mine had 2 of them back in the 80's one the ute like that and a van with slide doors either side. We went everywhere in them really cool.
Chuck a LS in the tray and whack on some Kenworth badges 👍🇦🇺🍻
how crazy would that be

Glad you enjoyed the vid
Doing a few hand brakes with that will be fun😂
lol dont flip it
Dunno, VE SS or Hijet, na reckon I'll get the Hijet. Shoot me.
The hijet with the LS. Fun
LS Swap it ;)
@@RossReviewsau hehe, evil, pure evil. I’m loving it.
I got rid of my ve ss to get 2022 hijet
Couldn’t be more happy with my decision 1 year on and I’ve put almost 30000kms on it
I have a 2018 Jumbo auto. No problems sitting on 100-110+ on the freeway/expressway. (even with a small load) Don't undersell it. 🙃
Our brand new 2023 silver jumbo 4x4 is on order!!! Woo hoo!
Here in the us there are a few dealerships that actully sell these there is one dealership that sell the 2022 models to
interesting...
Get one and put a Hayabusa motor in it, now that would rock ...
Now ya talking 👍😎
that would be wild
They weigh like 80% more than a mini that people normally put busa motors in... so in reality it would suck to drive
@@kingcrumpet just put it in a Cappuccino lol
It has been done. Not that impressive without turbo
Now your gonna need to find a modified one next
i would love that
@@RossReviewsau maybe when you and the Mrs go to Japan next
Don't blow it up too hard buddy, leave some for the rest of us! lol @30 racks!!! Power windows?

i also love em haha.. great things

🤣 strap a Barra to the back
Nice little truck for inner city handymen/tradies. The governments worldwide are just virtue signalling bs. Awesome review mate 👍🏽
appreciate it brother
Cheapest pickup in the UK we only get the jumbo £16000 on the road. They all seem to be green what I've seen we only have it in manual with the 660Turbo .
Manual is the way to go
USA has a 25 year rule. These Japanese Kei trucks can be imported only after they are 25 years old. Canada has a 15 year rule
Correct
in south africa a hijet and a suzuki carry is much cheaper that 30k new
welcome to Australian TAX :(
Great logic there.... you keep your Rand... we'll keep our Dollar.
@B4RB. I'm in aus you knob
Pretty slick segue Ross, not gonna lie
these things are everywhere in thailand
yup TUKTUK lol
i am a diahatsu delta truck guy but i think i will get one of these
These are awesome
I tried reaching out to that company next ride but they will not respond to me I really want a setup like this.
They only sell them they don’t spec them up
Cost please
Around 30k Australian $
Can't import to Canada unless it's over 15yrs.
This one should b fun
The United States can import them as off road vehicles and you can make them street legal through a company called dirt legal
I’m sure their is a loop hole
There is a few states that offer special plates Alabama is one of them it’s a black and white plate that says non interstate use only and you can easily cover it with a plate frame
Hahaha thats the best thing I've ever seen 😅 pulling chicks for days
lol
😎
Gotta be 15 years old to be on road in Canada 25 in usa
australia you just have to pay the tax man lol

Those low profile tyres look idiotic 😩
i like the look
@@RossReviewsauI like this look as well trying to figure out how to get it
To expensive for what you get they need a tad more umpf
Would be nice to buy slightly cheaper but unfortunately all
Have to be imported and Aussie tax is crazy
why did i even click on this..lol
because its cool as hell HAHA
UNLESS THINGS CHANGED BIG TIME, IF YOURE BIGGER THAN A 12YR OLD, YOU WONT FIT! I HAD A HONDA TRUCK .. '68, JAPAN
These are much bigger than them.. it’s a jumbo.. you have heaps of head room and can recline seats.. regular ones tho very cramped
Still way too expensive mate for this mini truck
They are not “cheap”

Fair enough!
Come on people.... that car sucks
