Body notes

  • Daihatsu's 2021 release counts the S700V as the 11th generation Cargo and says the Cargo it replaced had run since December 2004, so the S320V and S321V are one generation, split by engine.
  • The Hijet Deck Van of this period (engines.json daihatsu-hijet-deck-van-ef) carries no code read here.
  • Turns 25 from December 2029.

The 25 year lane

Turns 25 in December 2029.

Earliest units of this chassis turn 25 in this month, counted from production.from. Each truck's own date of manufacture decides, to the day, under 49 USC 30112(b)(9).

The last units turn 25November 2032

The newer lane

EPA certificates.

No certificate year is recorded for this generation.

A truck under 25 can come in only as governed off road equipment, and only if its engine family held an EPA nonroad certificate for that model year. No kei engine family was certified for mini trucks before model year 2010, so a truck built after 31 October 2001 and before model year 2010 has no federal door until its 25th birthday.
