Used 1996 Daihatsu Midget II - cars & trucks - by dealer - vehicle... for sale in Woodinville, WA

Created as a light delivery vehicle for tight spaces, the Midget was originally introduced in 1957 as a three-wheeled truck and enjoyed huge popularity among small businesses and delivery services all over Asia. This version, the Midget II, debuted in 1996 to meet modern standards for the same design ideals. At less than 9.5' long and barely over 4' wide, the Midget II fits easily into Japan's "kei class" and can park just about anywhere. To maximize the usable space of the small design, the spare tire is mounted on the nose. Its engine, the standard Daihatsu triple used in other Kei applications like the HiJet, has been detuned more for torque (37 lb-ft @ 3200 rpm) than outright power. It is located mid-mounted under the seat and laid on its side. Fuel economy is up tp 70mpg around town, top speed is limited to about 45-50 mph. Hauling capacity is 205kg(452 lbs.), but then the truck only weighs 1,257 lbs. by itself. Although out of production, the Midget II enjoys a strong fan base in Japan, and there was even a racing series at one time.

This 1996 Midget II was imported from Japan and sold to its current owner in January of 2019. Overall the condition is very good with paint and interior being better than average. All mechanicals are in good order and it shifts great up/down in all gears. This truck also has working factory optional air conditioning and is a manual transmission. There is a Sony CD player and Piaa fog lamps fitted as well. This truck is perfect for a small business errand runner and great for drawing attention everywhere you go, put your logo and name on the side. If you have a vineyard, toss a few barrels in the bed and you will be the hippest show in town. Driving this K truck is a total blast and the looks you get are astonishing, people cannot help but smile and take photos.
