1999 Daihatsu Fourtrack (F78) TDX

Rugged and capable later model 2nd Generation Fourtrack in 'Independent' 2.8 TDX spec showing just 88,254 miles

Supplied new in July 1999 by Gordon Lamb Limited Daihatsu main dealers, this chunky 2^nd Generation FourTrack (known as the Rugger in Asia) comes to us in Top Tier UK specification known as ‘F78 TDX’ and is some 4” wider than the TDL model with resin wheel arch covers to cover the wider 7” alloy wheels and is finished in Dark Green as an ‘Independent’ Model (better interior spec).

Under the bonnet, we find the typical 2.8-litre intercooled and turbocharged OHV eight-valve four-cylinder DL52 diesel engine which developed 101bhp driving two or four wheels with 2H, 4H and 4L options via five-speed manual transmission.

Inside, we find two-tone grey cloth interior, electric windows, electric mirrors, 4H mode, heated rear window with wash/wipe, clinometer, Nikkai radio/CD player, and rear door lock/unlock button as well as useful extra seats in the boot and tow bar.

The truck shows just 88,254 miles which is uncommonly low for these well loved vehicles which are often found covered in mud on a rural farm many years later still in daily use so rugged and capable are they.  Generally presenting well, particularly in the cabin, there are signs the truck has had the usual welding and repairs to the sills as pictured but for a FourTrack its uncommonly smart.

The history file includes the V5C revealing five former keepers to our vendor who drove it to us from the far West of Wales along with the owner’s pack and service book recording 11 stamps inc. PDI plus two hand written entries, the last stamp in November 2022 at 88,082 miles by Empire Garage of Llanybydder. 

In addition, we also find a considerable file of history for parts purchased and maintenance works undertaken including replacement cross member and sills (and further works) in 2016 at a cost of £1,460 at 84,364 miles along with many old MOTs and the current, valid until November 2023 which recorded seven advisories (enter the reg at check-mot.service.gov.uk).

An interesting truck with lots of use no doubt ahead of it with great retro looks and dependable turbo diesel power plant.
