JDM 4×4 Daihatsu Kei Monster Truck review – Who needs a Tesla Cybertruck? In this episode Jonny Smith exclusively reviews a new Daihatsu Hijet Pickup Truck with switchable full low-range 4×4 drivetrain, lifted suspension and an economical 660cc engine. Imported by Motoyama www.mydaihatsu.co.uk this Kei mini truck sits between agricultural UTV and regular small pick-up truck, but is far cheaper than both with prices starting from just £13,500 +VAT.
The Jumbo cab dropside flatbed pickup bed measures almost 2m long and has a cargo weight of up to 400kg and weighs less than a tonne.
