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.

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.

Anything larger and a trailer works well since all trucks have a hitch receiver.

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.

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 is NOT made by Toyota! Daihatsu was an independent company for decades which was then purchased by Toyota in 2016. Now it is an independent subsidiary of Toyota. Daihatsu engineers and builds its own cars.
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.
I agree!! Lots of diesel here for tractors and heaters, but no gas, even my Jeep is diesel. I fill it like once every two months, excellent fuel economy. I can imagine filling one of these once every 6 months LOL.
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.
Uhh, I,m an American living in Japan. Daihatsu are very reliable. I own a passenger car. If I get distracted I sometimes turn the wipers on instead of the turn signal! Everything is laid out opposite! Signal to the right of the steering ,,wiper controls on the left. But you get used to it!
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?
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
So you’re telling me these are off road only and can’t be registered due to federal safety regulations? But I can drive 70 MPH on motorcycle. If they legalized these for regular use the US truck market would take a huge hit.

I agree!! Lots of diesel here for tractors and heaters, but no gas, even my Jeep is diesel. I fill it like once every two months, excellent fuel economy. I can imagine filling one of these once every 6 months LOL.
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.
They use these and the van types in Turkiye 🇹🇷 ...! With gasoline at 1.59 USD per liter ( ~6 USD per gallon ), it makes sense !
Such a nice paint job.
Красивый,практичный аппарат
Uhh, I,m an American living in Japan. Daihatsu are very reliable. I own a passenger car. If I get distracted I sometimes turn the wipers on instead of the turn signal! Everything is laid out opposite! Signal to the right of the steering ,,wiper controls on the left. But you get used to it!
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?
Awesome mini truck. Loved the color.
Genial espectacular magnífico traer a la Argentina urgente gracias
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
🤔Owned a Suzuki-Carry,2in. lift,oil heater,battery warmer it was an awesome lil truk to tool around in.😎
Nice truck, but I would trade all that power stuff (windows, locks, auto-start, etc.) for a hydraulic dump bed.
I'd buy one in a minute.
I prefer the Hijet that comes with NO power windows or key-less entry or any other garbage like that.
We do sell the more simplistic optioned trucks just like that!
Push button start and keyless entry. You've destroyed the theme of that vehicle right there with those two....
Excellent. I like this. Great job all.
I like it!!! Is it available in Texas. And is it street legal?
None of these newer ones are street legal, they have to be 25 years or older in order to properly import them for any type of street use.

What!!!! Well that red one sure is awesome. I would have loved driving it to work. Since I’m only 10 minutes away from my work.
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!
These things are dope
i was wounding when these would come to the states..
Thats a nice truck right there
So you’re telling me these are off road only and can’t be registered due to federal safety regulations? But I can drive 70 MPH on motorcycle. If they legalized these for regular use the US truck market would take a huge hit.
Yes I'm wondering where can I go to buy One of your Truck's?
I’m getting one!
love it from mexico!
We need right side drive versions of these trucks for road use.
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?
Web site link didn't work...
daihatsu make a fantastic diesel used in the rest of the world.will it be avaleble in north america.??
I saw several U.S. dealer for $25,995 to $29,900
That is about 1/2 the price of the Canoo EV truck (time will tell if the new company survives)
Would be better if the cost was the cost of a Honda Fit... $18k~.
Your price for a side by side is 30k to 40k that truck has a lot more going for it than a shitty built side by side.
i bought my ford 2008 f-350 4x4 diesel crew cab not a ding,low miles with service body used in light pool maintainence out of california last year because anything older than 2010 not legal in cali --got for 20,000$--my neighbor bought same for 12000$ with a few dings--we both deleted all the smog crap--no emissions in our area--these trucks are beasts--in ten years be lucky to put 50k on it,at most 75k miles
True, that is why I am looking at this video, SXS sales prices are out of control now!! @@idahobob180
us mexicans fvckin' love toyota trucks!
A huevo
Don't you just love a dealer who is proud of everything....but the price?
Do it comes in left-hand drive
what does a hi jet pick up like the one twlked about cost to buy tax and all.?
It’s unfortunate we can’t really drive them on the highways here. Otherwise, I would’ve bought on a long time ago.
Can't?
I know in Australia the highway says 110, but I'll go 80 at times because fuel economy
@@mmmddd4366 Correct. We are not allowed to drive them like normal cars on the highways. They are only regulated to farms, golf courses, short distance driving from one neighborhood house to another. I find it very lame.
@@Stevenimich oh yes of course, US highway code is different. Sorry I forgot KEI cars in general don't meet US. In Australia we can register kei cars and trucks every day of the week.
I work 12min from home in a rural area. Would be great for my 5ac and going to work. I miss the small Toyota and Mitsubishi trucks. You can thank the EPA for the loss of the small lightweight trucks of the 70's-80's.
I like the simplistic design, but why would they make the bed so short? Perplexing
Tendría que venir con cabina rebatible para un mejor acceso al motor, está muy bueno
Very good truck
I'd love one if it was left-hand drive.
Now -all they need to do is make them left hand drive for the N. American market
Great truck and fantastic color
I've never shifted gears with my left hand, I'd have to get use to driving that way.
Fuiji heavy industries make everything for 4 divisions of theirs. Toyota, Subaru performance cars, Daihatsu and Lexus which is now a separate division on its own. I have been owning a Daihatsu Terios 4 wheel drive from 2003 onwards. Great vehicle. The engine is a Toyota engine as well as several parts all from Toyota. Oil filters Toyota. Understandable since both are made by Fiji heavy industries.
Its made by Daihatsu which is owned by Toyota. Daihatsu is a company that makes kei cars primarily for the Japanese market.
So big people can finally fit inside by moving the seat back more yaay
The heater/air controls came straight off an 86~87 Forrunner
