Still Not sure? Minitruck or UTV Side-by-Side?
While many minitruck owners say they would never go back, if you're new to mini trucks, it can be useful to see how a typical Japanese minitruck stacks up against something you may be more familiar with -- a side-by-side.
The thing is, once you've configured your UTV, it costs a lot more than the equivalent minitruck ... yet still doesn't have the same level of equipment that ships as standard on our Daihatsu Hijets.

When ordering a new Daihatsu minitruck fresh from the factory, it takes approximately 30 to 60 days from order to delivery on the Japan side, but this depends on the model, with dump trucks taking longer.
Of course, then it has to be prepared for shipping and shipped out. Typically, it will take between 2 and 4 weeks to prepare it for export and get it on a ship. The voyage time is around 35 to 45 days to the East Coast, and 16 to 21 days for the West Coast. After that, the minitruck has to clear customs and be trucked to you, which would typically be another 7 to 10 days.
The free ($350-value) lift kit is provided in the form of parts. It does not come fitted to the vehicle. It is up to you to decide whether you want to fit it or not. If you are using the minitruck within a large manufacturing location, or a similar location where serious off-road ability is not really required, then you may well want to leave the standard suspension and wheel / tire set up. If you do want to go ahead and fit the lift kit, then we strongly recommend you fit the heavy duty springs at the front, and get the parts fitted by a professional mechanic following the instructions we provide. Once fitted, your minitruck will be able to take 23" wheel / tire combinations. These wheels and tires are not included, but can be sourced easily from sellers in the United States. If you want to fit 25" wheel / tire combinations, please select the higher spec lift kit when ordering.
Although it is true that some US states do have laws that permit minitrucks to be registered for the road, and that minitrucks are also used on the road in Japan, under federal law in the US, they are categorized as being for offroad use only. As a result, minitrucks ordered through Minitruck World are for offroad use only and we will not respond to requests for documentation to allow these vehicles to be registered for on-road use in any state.
Although minitrucks in Japan can be used on roads at highway speeds, they are usually used to move rice harvesting equipment, fishing gear, landscaping tools and similar on smaller, low-speed backroads.
However, minitrucks sold through Minitruck World for use in the US have all been speed limited to 25 MPH comply with US EPA Federal laws. Users are expected to take care to ensure that their speed is always suitable for the driving conditions.
Spec your minitruck in our online configurator, and you will have the pricing automatically emailed to you. So what does this price include? Is it just the cost of the minitruck itself?
No, this price gets you the minitruck delivered to your desired delivery address within the contiguous 48 states. It covers the truck itself, Japan-side customs, EPA compliance work, US import customs clearing, and trucking to your delivery address. (And, of course, it includes the free custom lift kit which has a $350 value.)

Why Daihatsu?
Not heard of Daihatsu? What if I told you that they are owned by Toyota and have a 100+ year history, have built over 30 million vehicles, and have almost 14,000 employees? When you buy Daihatsu, you get Toyota quality.
Daihatsu minitrucks have been the #1 best-selling minitrucks in Japan for the last 10 years running. And there are good reasons for that. They make the mini trucks with the longest load bed floor, and the smallest turning circle -- plus they use steel plating with the highest anti-rust rating.
Finally, when it comes to lifted minitrucks, only Daihatsu minitrucks can take the larger 23 inch (6 ply) or 25 inch (10 ply) tires for the most extreme off road performance.
