Daihatsu Hijet JDM Fire Truck ! 4WD, 25 years Old, Very low 12,700 kms

Hijet Fire Truck !

Here is a chance to own a very low mileage versatile Kei truck, this one has been in service as a fire fighting truck in Japan. Originally it would have some hoses of various lengths attached to the side and a large water pump fitted in the box on the back. This pump would have had its own small generator type engine so it would operate independently from the trucks engine. Like most former fire service vehicles in Japan this one has done very little work as they are mostly parked up waiting for a call. They receive regular maintenance and are kept clean and stored in garages at the fire station.

This one was first registered in 2000 which makes it 25 years old and eligible for import into the USA and Australia under the 25 year old rule. It would be useful to anyone in any part of the world who needs a light 4WD truck that can go off road and move heavy items around. These vehicles are very simple and reliable. With the correct tyres fitted they are very capable in snow, mud and rocky terrain. This one has a 5 speed manual transmission with 4WD that can be engaged and disengaged again at the touch of a button. This means you can drive on normal road in 2WD and conserve some fuel.

An important thing to note about this truck is that unfortunately it does not have air-conditioning fitted which is fairly common with Japanese fire service vehicles.

Please take a look through the photos and the video on our YouTube page to get a better idea of the fantastic condition this truck is still in underneath.

The body does have some markings from the previous fire department it belonged to which have been covered up. This is for legal reasons in Japan but they could be uncovered again which might look quite interesting driving around your local neighbourhood.
