Any one that can build a vehicle that can sell in the US for less that 10k would be the most popular vehicle on the road. There's a massive need for an affordable vehicle. No matter the look people would buy it just because they can afford it.
The EPA has nothing to do with it. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration enforces government safety mandates. All of those airbags and other additions to improve safety are a real driving force as are the admission standards for highway use vehicles. Some states allow them if they are at least 25 years old.@@AdamDarroll

It wouldn't matter if you live in North America. New ones are not street legal it's for farm use, private land use only. For kei trucks to be street legal they have to be 25 years and older. So the newest one you can get and drive stateside would be a 1999 model. They are not legal on any interstate. Only roads 55 mph speed limit and lower.
Aren't American laws great? People talk about safety, yet the older vehicle is street legal while the new one is not? Where is the common sense in that?@@josephdover198
@@28naveenator27van Federal law states any vehicle less than 25 years old must comply with current safety and emissions standards to be used on the roads. Kei vehicles don't meet the requirements so they do have to be 25 years old. The only exemption I am aware of is if it's registered as farm equipment. What classifies as a "farm" varies state to state.
Little deal like this would be awesome to have for probably 90% of all truck owners and drivers. Since many trucks now roll around with empty bed spaces as is. Plus with what those bigger trucks burn in fuel a day, this could likely burn in a week. It's just unfortunate that many in various government agencies (state and fed) don't want you to have these because "safety" when it's more "we want that sweet sweet fuel tax revenue and to be able to say you are the problem that only we have the answer to." Would I enjoy one of these? You bet I would. Would getting on an interstate be thrilling? Yep. Would I want to take it on extended drive trips? Probably not but then again I did drive a 1988 Suzuki swift/ Chevy Sprint to Florida and back from where I was living at the time. A mere seven hour drive, and I could barely walk from how stiff/sore i was. And it helped being at the ripe old age of 21 then. But I still did it, I'd imagine there's been a lot of suspension and comfort upgrades since.
The problem is Americans don't think logically, they think in extremes, what if someone ever needs to tow a 10,000+ pound trailer up a mountain? That disqualifies this truck for a lot of people even if they probably will never need to tow anything.
@@gro_skunk Well yeah, that's what I was alluding to with how folks just drive around in massive brodozers and such. Hauling themselves around and maybe considering a trailer at some point. But they'll gave those mirrors all the way out donkey ear style because "mah truck!"
Not true. If that was the case they wouldn’t allow the vintage models to be sold either. The companies that build these could easily make them compliant so blame them instead of manufacturing ridiculous conspiracy theories.
I just rent a truck when I need to tow or haul a lot of crap around because its quite rare. 'Muricans are too busy compensating for inadequacies below their belts with "big boy trucks" and guns of course.
Well......I would love to drive one around some. I really like how this looks! I will have to drive my old Explorer until one of us dies though .... LoL. These things are pretty neat
Oh, This is so cool even in Japan. This model is priced at 2.2 million JPY (Incl OP wheels and sales tax) in Japan. 2.2M JPY is about 15,000USD. A price of over 2 million yen for a KEI car feels a little expensive to the Japanese.
Unfortunately these little trucks are not aloud in the highway ,our car companies wouldn’t like for us to buy these , they want to push their crazy expensive trucks ,lots of lobbying in Washington DC ,these trucks are beautiful ,practical and great for low income people like me $15,000 is very reasonable price probably a little more with the import fee ,maybe I am wrong about this not aloud in the freeway ? Anyone who has a better answer ?
right! They are talking about safety issues, but if you have one that is 25 years old, then it is legal. Crazy right? I would feel more safe in this tiny truck than in a smart car. Smart cars are street legal while this is not. Where is the logic in that?
@@JohnSmith-bh8umDepends on the state but for the entire country for a kei truck to be street legal it has to be 25 years or older. You can get a new one but you can't do anything except drive around a farm or maybe you own a golf course. Something like that. They aren't legal in Oregon but they are legal in Washington. They are only legal on roads with a speed limit of 55 mph or less. So highway type 55 roads you can get away with but not interstates that are commonly 65 to 70 mph. Even the 25+ year old ones imported in good shape aren't cheap. They run about 6 grand for one that's rusted and beat up. More like $7,200 to $8,000 in fairly good condition.
@@JohnSmith-bh8um I would imagine the new ones are very good. The street legal ones that are 90's models aren't quite as good as some would think or even some claim. I've heard people swear they get about 40 mpg from 1992 models while others say they are more around 32 mpg. They're all 3 cylinder 660 cc engines except the Subaru Sambar is a 4 cylinder but still 660 cc. It could depend on mileage, fuel and I would say more than anything the terrain. If you are consistently dealing with hills those are probably the people getting less gas mileage. I feel like the people getting the best gas mileage are likely driving one particular route for the most part and they aren't trying to climb and they aren't pushing them as hard. You can wind them completely out just fine but I would think you are compromising your gas mileage.
@@josephdover198 got it. I appreciate the lengthy reply. I was honestly hoping to hit levels of somewhere between 50 to 60 miles per gallon. It being basically a motorcycle engine. Sort of like something you'd see in the Philippines the gypnees. A motorcycle with a cab or truck bed

Those are pretty cool how do you go about financing something like that and what would a down payment be for somebody who lives on social security and and a truck payment
The U.S is not going to let us have this. If it did come and be legal to drive on the street it would cost $20.000 or more by the time it gets to us. But remember even this has the ability to watch us. Most Everything today has that ability.
lol are you serious? The only street legal ones in the US have to be 25 years or older. They're 3 cylinders and depending on whether Honda, Suzuki, Daihatsu (Toyota), etc they are between 38 to 42 horsepower. The tow capacity is your body for the most part. You can't take them on the interstate because max speed is 55 to 60 mph and that's with the motor winding completely out. If you are using the bed with any decent amount of weight the max speed will be less. These are not meant to pull even the most basic trailer around.
Real shame they're not street legal, can't even get a title or a tag for them , only good on off roads and farms , real shame , perfect little city truck.
The US needs cheap small efficient vehicles instead they are pushing cars most can't afford. I would buy and drive as a daily one of the mini trucks but they aren't allowed in my state or most states for that matter.

OK Japan. You are the best at making everything so Cute! Even Cars.

US should adopt Kei cars instead of the pointless EV vehicle push.
Yeah, I love paying for gas
It's weird how capitalists hate capitalism....
I want this in electric. I converted my car into an electric and I only bought gas twice for a Civic Hatch I don't even drive anymore.
so clean, so quick, so professional.
Nice, I'd want a push bar on the front though.
