The Daihatsu Hi-Line/F series (Japanese: ダイハツ・ハイライン/Fシリーズ) is a series of compact trucks, manufactured and sold from 1960 to 1972. This truck series was competed with Toyota Stout, Nissan Junior, Hino Briska or Mazda B series.

The truck was released in 1960 and available in two models; a 1.75-tonne class "F175" with Шаблон:Convert 1.5-litre FA engine (same engine that powered the larger Daihatsu V200 truck) and a 1.5-tonne class "D150" with Шаблон:Convert 1.5-litre diesel engine.[1]

In 1962, a new 1-tonne load capacity class called "Hi-Line" was introduced to fill the class below the higher duty F175/D150 trucks. This truck was available in two versions; short deck "F100" and long deck "F108". Both models were powered by the same engine as the F175. A 3-door van version based on F100 called "F100V" was introduced in 1963. In the same year, a 2-tonne class truck called "F200" was also introduced[1] and powered with a Шаблон:Convert 1.9-litre FB petrol engine, but it was discontinued quickly in 1964.

To celebrate the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, a Hi-Line was used to accompany two Daihatsu Compagno Berlinas for Шаблон:Convert trip from olympic flame in Olympia, Greece to Tokyo.[2][3][4]

The trucks received facelift in 1965, the headlights were changed from single to twin round units.[5] Also in this year, all models except the F100/108 trucks were discontinued. The second facelift occurred in October 1968 with brand new big single rectangular headlights and the load capacity was increased to 1.25 tonnes.[5][6]

In November 1967, Toyota formed a business alliance with Daihatsu. As part of the alliance's agreement, the F series was later discontinued in 1972 and replaced with the more popular Toyota Hilux.

The name of "Hiline" was reused by Daihatsu for 2WD diesel variant of Daihatsu Taft wagon/truck for Indonesian market from 1986 to 2007.[7] Even though it too carries an F model code (F69), this car has no relation with the original Hi-line/F series trucks. Шаблон:-
