1999 redesign · through 2001
The January 1999 Minicab redesign adopted a semi-cab layout. Our reference has a box body; it is not proof of a standard open-bed truck’s equipment.
These dates describe this guide’s coverage. Changeover years may show two bodies; 2001 is the library cutoff, not necessarily the model’s final year.
Choose a year in this version
You’re viewing 2001 within the 1999–2001 version. A calendar year does not automatically mean a new version. Check the production month and chassis plate.
Engine
Mitsubishi’s history describes a new three-cylinder MVV lean-burn engine for the series.
Drive & transmission
U61/U62 truck-family reference; verify drive and transmission by exact truck specification.
Identification
U61/U62
Match the complete chassis code to the truck’s documents. Related bodies and reference photographs do not confirm a factory grade.
Factory grades & equipment
Factory grades describe equipment. Auction grades describe condition; they are different.
| Grade / specification | What is documented |

| Truck-specific documentation needed | No complete dated truck grade table has been verified for this guide. Do not transfer van grade names or equipment to the pickup. |
Version changes & milestones
- January 1999: redesigned series, with a 2,200 mm truck wheelbase reported by Mitsubishi.
- Body styles and later front-end updates need separate visual checks.
Rarity & value
Reliable production counts and comparable completed-sale evidence have not been verified sufficiently to rank this version’s grades. We do not label a grade “rarest” or “most valuable” without that evidence.
Compare documented specification, structural condition, maintenance and the complete quoted cost. Original trim level alone does not establish resale value.
Evidence reviewed: 19 September 2026.Before choosing this truck
- Confirm production details, frame plate and original documents.
- Ask for cab-floor and underbody photographs, known defects and repair history.
- Verify engine, drivetrain, steering and air conditioning on the actual vehicle.
- Check replacement-parts availability and wheel fitment for the exact chassis.
- Discuss your destination, intended use and preparation requirements before ordering.
