1994 - 1996 Hijets have an electronically controlled automatic in which the power button makes the shift points more aggressive. It looks like a great feature! You can also tell if the capacitors in the controller have gone bad if the power button doesn't light up any more when you press it...
Power button Is my favorite feature
Are auto trans in kei vans trucks known to be weaker, inferior reliability performance wise than the 5spd? 5spd cruises at a higher max mph?
people like to get 5speed over auto because a 5speed is easier to fix if something terrible happens. You can always buy a clutch or fix the problems with the 5speed. But an auto if it fails you need to spend 2k+ to get one from Japan@@animebobacafe
Here in Indonesia it's body style called Angguna (angkutan serbaguna/multi purpose carrier). Yet in 90's era this Hijet came to Indonesia without much features except for bigger engine. Even AC was still considered luxury feature.
Most Angguna's in Indonesia are modified, not stock deck vans from factory. If there's any that are stock deck vans or double cab vans they'd usually be rare even back then. Any surviving Angguna's now are mostly chopped up Mitsubishi Colt's, since their overall boxier panels compared to other popular vans makes it easy for cutting up without risk.
I'm envious of you sampling so many delicious kei cars. If I keep watching these videos, I'll get a 4WD Hijet kei van to go with my 4WD Hijet kei truck. Kei is the way.
You need a 4wd Deck Van!! Best of both worlds!
@@Waybeforethefame - I need a PWR button on my 5 speed manual 4WD Hijet kei truck. Wait. I just realized that I'm manually driving in power mode! That's why I get 31 MPG instead of 36 MPG. :-)
Wow dude this thing is amazing!Am watching your videos for a while now but today, this is my first time commenting,man this is THE ULTIMATE KEI!I absolutely want one!
Welcome !! Comments are always welcomed lol
I really love Deck Vans now, sounds awesome! Thanks boss!
You bet!
Imagine surfing with this car. You can keep all the boards upright in the back. Good stuff man.
That HiJet is very unique...i kinda like it!
The Ultimate Kei!
@@Waybeforethefame are kei vans expensive to keep up?
Agreed, this is a great vehicle, and extremely versatile
Loved these vehicles very cool little rigs so many different styles very versatile. Cool
I agree !
Super cool kei!
man never seen one of these. this thing is amazing!
Deckvans are in my top 5 for sureeeeee
I've been thinking about a deck van for a while now. Rad little vehicles
💯
Both Fantastic
You can put a tarp over the back with straps on or rope your can make a canopy top for the back with roller bars
I'm serious they need to make things like this in the us, I would definitely buy one
Good luck on getting pass the chicken tax that u.s. has >_>
Agreed. Auto Keis rock too👍🏻( would love 4wd on it ❤)
Yeah would be even better if it was 4WD
It'd be nice if it came with the flip cage on the rear cargo gate that would extend the cargo bed's capacity once opened.
That would be baller
they can mod it to be
There’s no headrest or seatbelts for the back seat. I always think the rear bed is too short be useable. This guy is acting as if it’s fast. 😂😂😂 The power mode is just shutting down overdrive. 😂😂😂 Deck van is a no. Get a Atrai Turbo van or a Jumbo.
Oh, I want one now that’s the best of both worlds
Literally the perfect
That. Is. Dope.
I want one
@@solosix3991 oh you know it
Just got me a 95 daihatsu deckvan on the big island!!! Love it!!! Get so much smiles and shaka’s from everyone when I drive by!!!! Can’t help but drive it with a smile
ENJOY 🤙🤙
Shakas? What the heck is a shaka?
ITS A HAWAII THING@@maxsparks5183
Genial espectacular magnífico traer a la Argentina urgente gracias
Very good description of this Kcar and after owning a 2008 model bought direct from Pacificcoast Autos in Japan which I sold to a landscape gardener here in the UK I am now bidding on a 2009 4WD 5speed manual model which is just ideal to drive around town the only downsize you are not allowed legally to drive on the motorways because of the limited speed..
Wow I wish we could get those newer ones on the road here in the USA
Amazing
You have to come down to the Caribbean (Dominican Republic) we have a looooooot of Kei vans/trucks. I myself have a Turbo S331W, converted to Atrai on some Sprint Harts. Anyhow, come down here whenever you can.
yeah I was there last year I saw a bunch of them while I was in Santiago, ill be back before 2024 maybe
This thing is sweet. I love my 85 toyota van wagon the seats fold up the same way to get to the motor. Some models then came with a cooler with ice tray that produced ice and had 4 weel drive.
Sheesh this can looks so cool
I daily a 2020 nissan rogue with a CVT. its very nice but sluggish and a bit unresponsive at times. its definitely the smoothest experience I've ever had. I would say CVT's are more for daily driving and luxury than anything else.
90s kei car CVT is very different than modern cars and technology
Honestly my dream kei truck. I wanna put a surf board on the roof put my beach chair in the back and go to the beach
Living the life
Yes, that's really cool 😎💯😏
it would be a dream to be able to get one of these Deck Vans in Texas
When power mode was on the sound was like the kei cars from Gran Turismo.
KEI IS THE WAY!
PWR mode made me giggle so much!!!
感恩，了解，謝謝分享！
私はこれらの日本車が大好きです
Heck this thing is perfect for me.
I’m telling you
@@Waybeforethefame whats the sale price
It's a very cool Car 😎💯 So much Opinions to drive that Car. The closed Van is better, but that Pickup Version is cooler for Summertime 😏 My Wish/Connsideration would be a Cover for the Store Area like the old Suzuki Vitara 😏 Is it only RHD or can I buy in LHD? Greetings from Germany
I googled it and comes up as off road use only though. Same for this model?
this is like a dream. its so cool. i was wondering, could a kei truck fit my moped in the back. i dont have my licence yet but im curious.
The bed on kei trucks are 6 feet long so I would say yes. Ive seen people with Grom's & Other scooters on the back of kei trucks before
6 ft? wow!
Can you do pricing because I wouldn’t mind having one like that
HAD HONDA P/U IN '68 ... IM 6'6", EVERY TIME I HIT THE BRAKES ID TURN THE LIGHTS ON(BUTTON) .. TOO MANY NEW BATTERIES!
That would be a nice camping van.
Need this
Do it
Crazy
Deck vans are dope, but a double cab Wuling with a fullsize bed is probably the most useful of all kei styled vehicles
Also, regarding the power button, Toyota put this button in various different vehicles. The 4spd auto Camrys have this same button essentially. It's labeled "ECT" in the Camry. It makes it much more responsive. I used to make my Camry Coupe chirp from low speed rolls. Toyota is the only manufacturer I know to add these types of little buttons
I never heard of that type of kei car
@@Waybeforethefame it's a Chinese made truck, designed around the Japanese KEI class, but without the KEI class restrictions. They've got a cab like this deck van, but a bed like a kei truck. They're sick. I wish they were more common for part sourcing and such. They would be awesome to import.
Are they Carb compliant...someone said Japan more EPA than here??
I learned to drive in 1 of those😂. Where can i buy 1 and how much?
Gotta say sure is a cutie
Damn, can't get a ktruck under 10k on their website. Really really sick inventory though.
Hawaii Prices are different
BRO this lot is amazing! Kei class has so many sweet rides.
I want them all lol
Same!! That’s why I keep them for a bit and sell them
Holyshit i live in canada n have always wanted one like this,how do i get one brother❤

Hi. Can I ask how much a non 4X4 manual transmission deck van would cost these days?
Depends on too many factors honestly
The Rocky was legally imported into the US back in the day.
Ive actually here of these because in the USA never seen one tho
buy it.
Hey I live in Christchurch down in new zealand, do you have any recommendations for locations that have kei vehicles? I don't think there are any places in town because I've never seen any places so i don't even know if they are sold here.
there's a Facebook group I believe its called (K-SQUAD Kei Car Enthusiasts) Ive seen kei cars for sale in New Zealand there
@@Waybeforethefamethanks
Yo guys what's the damage to a pocket book to send this model to alaska usa
Still waiting to hear of an actual justifiable benefit for an open air truck bed. Maybe if it can fit a shipping pallet and you move them a lot but otherwise its just a cope from people conditioned to like trucks.
How much? And would be a hassle to register . Depending on what state you live in . I'm in Ct
This is at JDM Hawaii so might be a bigger hassle to ship lol
live on the main land, but this is what I think a young man would want.
In the Philippines we have them in left hand drive.
I want to go to the Philippines and see the cars
How much do these go for?
where can i find this for sale? ill get it shipped to me
Is this in Hawaii? The Philippines' Japanese Kei-trucks are left-hand drive. I think it's better if you get them here. And we drive on the right side of the road too!
Yeah this is in Hawaii
Are you in Hilo?
I will trade in my sambar for this. SO FUNKY
I don't blame you! I would trade a supercharged sambar for this
As a Kei van/truck/car owner for over thirty years,in the UK,so sorry that some U.S. destruct the use of these great vehcles.I also understand that you can't import news ones!
25 year old Kei vehicles can be imported into the US.
Oddly you can import new ones but they can’t be road registered. So people on farms, golf courses and other large properties can use them off road.
@@DJAYPAZ "but they can’t be road registered." i've heard it several times, but why? it's a car, four wheels, has an engine, brakes, mirrors, headlights, seatbelts, airbags and so on. why it can't be road registered? here in russia afaik any vehicle that falls under the vehicle category, there are a lot of categories, kinda m - mopeds, two or three wheels, 50 cc, less than 4 kwt and max speed less than 50 km/h, b - cars under 3.5 tons with 8 seats exclude driver's seat and the like can be registered (actually mopeds no need any registration).
@@johndgt Because the US wants to force us to drive larger vehicles that require us to buy much more fuel. You can legally drive kei trucks on the road if they are 25 years old and older. That's just typical government bullshit for you. So the newest model kei truck that is street legal would be a 1999.
A double cab pickup with rear sliding doors!!
THE BEST
So where will they allow you to drive one on a public road?
Yeah
Any concerns about crash test results?
When it’s my time it’s my time
I want one of these so badly... they're almost impossible to get in Germany. Not just the deck van version, also the normal vans are not very common. If you find a good one it easily costs 10k$...
they got for about 10k USD in America too
The only problem is that it has the steering wheel on the right instead of the left. Otherwise I love it.
Hi jet common problems ; over heat and delco at bottom deck risk of water get wet causing engine off.
How much?
thats not how you measure the bed. its 32"x41" the tape case its typically a 2" difference.
I need one
DO IT
its a shame the back wall doesnt fold to allow longer objects in the bed
In my country it is not legal to drive these babies if its still right hand drive. So we convert them into left hand drive and add a fly by wire system on it
I need one of those in India
Roof Rack & Around The Vehicle Roof LED Lights Make It Cooler !!! Sharing This Video, I Subscribed To You, I Hit The Bell 🔔 Icon For More Videos, I Liked The Video Too !!!! I'm Going To Share This On My Facebook News Feed Too !!! I Love Your Video, Thank You, Live& Prosper Long 👍😃👍🖖!!!

JDM Hawaii
i want to by from u and ship back to my country is it possible?
everything is possible with $$
I'm on the hunt for a Deck van Fire truck.
I believe texas JDM has one but it’s 1998+. That would be sick tho
How much and where do I get one
JDM hawaii
Not turbo. The air filter is on the passenger side on the turbo engine.
Yeah it’s a non turbo idk why that gauge is there
That street legal at New Jersey?
Yeah
It would even take a roof box. xD
Is this one still for sale?
yup
how much? i dont see it on the site!! this is m dream kei, i ned itt!!@@Waybeforethefame
This would be a dream. If only street legal here
I love this car i wish the us would stop making them so difficult to get new.
If they were cheaper you could convert it to left side steering. But, since they aren't. It's awesomely cool car. But, you really pay twice to drive it.
RHD is the best part
I just feel like I would be too skated to instinctively try to switch side on accident. @@Waybeforethefame
Do they finance ?
Yeah
Aw man, an opendeck.
I want one ! how do we buy them..... :)
This one is for sale at JDM Hawaii dot com
@@Waybeforethefame I dont see it can you help me find it
its www.jdmhawaii.com/auto/used-1994-daihatsu-honolulu-hi/80105585/ @@treysonmanfredi8954
give it to Xzibit, I would like to see the result😎
😂
It’s Japan’s f150
If you put a motor in it.
just wish the steering wheel was on the left like for the American market ...
RHD is the best part
I live in Japan, and enjoy driving and cycling around the countryside. Kei cars are the most popular vehicle outside the metro areas, and they can be seen everywhere. They are popular because they are the most economical kind of car you can get. They are less expensive when new, they go a long ways on a little gas, they get a discount on insurance, biannual inspections, and road taxes and tolls. They are certainly not powerful or fast, but they get you from point A to point B cheaply and reliably.
These cars are not sold new in the US because they do not meet American safety standards. America has this absurd and silly notion that to make roads safer, car manufacturers must make safer cars. Japan learned long ago that it is impossible to make a safe car, because a car can only be as safe as the driver who operates it. Rather than focus on making cars safer, Japan requires drivers to be safer.
Cars sold in Japan do not have the same safety features found in cars sold in America. Japan market cars do not have the bumper, door and roof reinforcements, they don’t have relocated gas tanks, or any of the other safety features which the American federal government demands be installed in American market cars.
But, the traffic fatality rates in Japan are only about one-fifth what they are in America, despite having millions of Kei cars on the road, many of these roads being very busy (Japan is the size of California, but with 3 times as many people). Japan’s drivers licensing standards are very high, and Japan’s traffic laws are very severe. Japan doesn’t believe in the concept of “accidents,” any vehicle collision is considered an act “negligence” by the part of the responsible driver. Any collision which results in injury is a crime, any collision which results in a traffic fatality will incur a mandatory prison sentence and permanent loss of driving privileges. DUI manslaughter has a minimum prison sentence of 15 years.
Because the standards are high, the the laws severe, people drive more safely. And because people drive more safely, in Japan you can get a license plate for pretty much anything which has an engine and wheels.
These cars are sold in the USA. Ive been daily driving kei cars for the last 3 years. Kei is the way
A new model?
@@twowheelsintokyo7039 1998 and older
I want one, where in Ontario Canada can I get one?
