Looking for an alternative? Try the Jumbo model
Love the color selection, the AC / heat and other creature comforts, but would prefer more storage space inside the cab in exchange for a slightly shorter load bed then why not take a look at the Jumbo cab model? It offers the same transmission options, including diff lock and high-low range (when you spec manual transmission), but the extended cab gives you more space to stow items behind the seats.

How long does it take to get the minitruck to me?
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.
Does the free lift kit come fitted to the minitruck?
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.
Can I drive my minitruck on the road?
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.
How fast will my minitruck be able to go?
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.
Does the price cover shipping etc.?
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.)
Can you get me parts for my minitruck?
We don't offer a parts service at the present time, but we will be happy to provide you with information for a reputable specialist Japanese parts supplier from whom you can order from directly using English.
