1998 Mitsubishi Minicab VX Special Edition 4WD, 2Hi-4Hi-4Lo, PS, 5MT

Overview

Here is a 1998 Mitsubishi Minicab VX Special Edition 4WD, 2Hi-4Hi-4Lo, PS, 5MT, one of the most capable and practical Japanese kei trucks you will find on the market right now. With just 22,351 on the odometer, this truck has barely been broken in and has decades of reliable service ahead of it. Japanese kei trucks have taken the United States by storm in recent years, and for good reason. They are small enough to fit where full-size pickups cannot go, tough enough to handle serious work, and so fuel-efficient that you will forget what gas stations look like. Whether you need a workhorse for your farm, a reliable hauler for your landscaping business, or a fun and practical vehicle for your property, this Mitsubishi checks every box.

Engine and Performance

Under the hood sits a 3G83 660cc 3 Cylinder. Do not let the small displacement fool you. Mitsubishi designed this engine specifically for the kei truck platform, prioritizing low-end torque for hauling and hill climbing while keeping fuel consumption remarkably low. You can expect well over 35 miles per gallon in normal driving conditions. These little engines are known to run for hundreds of thousands of miles with nothing more than regular oil changes, spark plugs, and the occasional belt replacement.

Drivetrain and Transmission

Equipped with a Manual transmission, this kei truck puts you in complete control. Manual transmissions are simpler, cheaper to maintain, and give you the ability to choose exactly the right gear for every situation. Need low-range power for a steep hill? Drop it into first. Want to cruise efficiently on the highway? Slot it into top gear and relax.

The four-wheel drive system is the real star of the show here. With power going to all four wheels, you get confident traction on:

• Dirt and gravel roads
• Mud and wet grass
• Snow and ice
• Steep hillsides and uneven terrain
• Loose sand and soft ground

This one also has a high/low range transfer case, which is a huge plus. Use high range for normal driving and switch to low range when you need maximum torque for steep climbs, deep mud, or heavy pulling.

Condition and Appearance

Finished in Calgary White. White is the most popular and practical choice for a work vehicle. It stays cooler in direct sunlight, shows business branding clearly, and always looks clean and professional. At 22,351, the mechanical components, body, frame, and undercarriage are all in strong shape. Japanese vehicles go through rigorous inspection programs throughout their life in Japan, which means they receive thorough mechanical checkups and are properly maintained from day one.
