Daihatsu Hijet kei truck for sale

Buying a Daihatsu Hijet from Japan

Which bed it has matters

Plain flat bed, dump bed and a few special bodies all exist. A dump bed is a different truck to use, so say which you want when you ask us to look.

Mileage is high and that is normal

A kei truck that has worked a Japanese farm or delivery round often shows a six-figure odometer. Condition and service history say more about it than the number does.

Fire-pumper versions exist

Some Hijets were built as small fire engines. They are a novelty import and priced as one; tell us if that is what you are after.

Can I drive it on the road?

Road legality for imported kei trucks is set state by state. Some states register them for normal road use, some limit them to lower-speed roads, and some allow farm or off-road use only. Check your state motor vehicle department before you buy.

What it costs to land one in the US

A kei truck is cheap to buy in Japan, but shipping, customs and clearance cost about the same as for any other vehicle, so they matter more on a small purchase. Work out the full cost here and read how the 25-Year Rule works.

Tell us what you want and we will find it

We source kei trucks from Japanese dealers and auctions for buyers in the United States. Tell us the model, whether you need four-wheel drive, and roughly what you want to spend. We reply within one working day.
