Mitsubishi Minicab Submodels
The Mitsubishi Minicab is a long-running line of Japanese kei trucks and microvans. First introduced in 1966, the models most popular with importers today hail from the third through sixth generations, built from the late 1980s through the 1990s. These trucks are defined by their strict adherence to kei class regulations, which limit their physical size and engine displacement to just 660cc.
Collectors and enthusiasts are drawn to the Minicab for its immense practicality in a tiny package. It's a capable light-duty workhorse, an attention-grabbing marketing vehicle, or simply a fun and quirky runabout. Available 4WD and options like dump beds add to their utility, making them surprisingly versatile. They offer an accessible entry point into JDM ownership with a character that's impossible to find in domestic vehicles.
The market for Minicabs is active, with an average price hovering around $7,500. Condition, mileage, and specific features like 4WD, air conditioning, or special trim packages like the Bravo van dictate pricing. It's a stable market that values clean, low-mileage examples imported under the 25-year rule.
Buying Tips
- Check thoroughly for rust, especially on the frame rails, under the bed, and in the cab's footwells.
- Test the 4WD system to ensure it engages and disengages smoothly, as it can be a point of failure.
- Inspect the 3-cylinder engine for oil leaks and listen for timing belt noise, as they are interference engines.
- Verify all import and titling paperwork is present and correct to avoid legal headaches.
- Note the condition of interior plastics and body panels, as replacements can be difficult to source in the US.
