The Hyundai Mighty II (hangul:현대 마이티 투, 현대 마이티 II) is a line of medium-duty commercial vehicles built by Hyundai Motor Company. The range was primarily available in Korea and some other Asian countries, although it was also sold in the United States. The Mighty II was manufactured beginning in August 1997 with the first cars going to Korea. Other regions for which the Mighty II was imported or manufactured included Europe, the Middle East, and North America. In many markets the Mighty II was very expensive and was replaced by the Hyundai Truck when that model became available. Production of the Mighty II ended in 2004.[2]

The overseas was another important market for the Mighty II - to the extent that it was manufactured there from the 1990s using many local components.

In United States, it was also sold as the Bering LD.
