About the Toyota Pixis Truck
The Toyota Pixis Truck is a kei-class micro-truck, essentially a rebadged Daihatsu Hijet, designed for light urban and agricultural cargo. It is a popular choice for Australian buyers who need a compact, fuel-efficient workhorse for tight farm spaces, small business deliveries, or general utility around town. Its small footprint makes it easy to park and manoeuvre in areas where a standard ute might struggle.
For compliance, we look for examples built from December 2021 onwards. These vehicles fall under a SEVS approval for the 3BD-S500U and 3BD-S510U chassis codes, covering all variants. This is the specific pathway we use to get these newer models onto the road in Queensland.
We don't publish live auction prices for this model, but our team can search the Japanese auctions for a specific Pixis Truck that fits your needs. Just let us know your budget, preferred colour, and condition requirements, and we will find a suitable example and provide a landed estimate before you place a bid.

Rust in the tray, floor, and chassis

Signs of hard agricultural or delivery use
What to check: Inspect the interior for heavy wear on pedals and seats, and check the tray for deep scratches or repairs.
Worn suspension components
What to check: Have the drive checked for clunks or uneven tyre wear, which can indicate worn bushings or shocks from constant loading.
