    When I lived in NZ we used them allot on the farm. Cheaper than a quad but with a/c and a heater. Plus if things were wet they would fit the knobby tires from a quad. Loved them.

      Hell yeah. Great on the farm and way better than side-by-sides. Don’t know why NZ won’t them on the road. Still safer than a motorbike.

    Great video. I recently moved to okinawa and fell in love with these kei trucks. So I bought a daihatsu s211p. Now i just need to find a rear canopy so i can sleep in the back when i go camping.

    Cool to see they can load a sled
    I made a comment about the inability in snow
    I see they can go through some
    But if you’ve ever pushed 4ft of snow down trail with a full size truck you know the difference right away

      I doubt you'll regret it. I've somehow got three now: the main, the spare and another one that needed a home. Doh!

      Yep, that's a classic. The dump truck versions are also good.

    Y'know, I've been thinking, these kei trucks are a more practical alternative to a four-wheeler. From where I come from, I could get a used one for around the same money as a brand new quad, and I can have it registered (unlike an ATV). And I'd put some offroader/knobby tires on it for that side-by-side feel.

    • @AkatarawaJapan
      @AkatarawaJapan  3 года назад +1

      For sure. A lot of farmers use them instead of quad bikes or SBS. Cheaper, safer, out of the weather, more practical.

    That was a pretty cool video and some really funky music.
    I was hoping to see a video of the time Brett slammed on the brakes of his new Kei truck and the whole truck had its ass up in the air 👍🏻😊

    Hahahah sweet vid! I've been meaning to ask you how you reinforced the tailgate for hauling sleds. Mine is starting to develop a little bit of a bend in the middle where the track runs up

    • @AkatarawaJapan
      @AkatarawaJapan  3 года назад +2

      alldaysammyj I’ve bolted on a piece of angle iron, with a welded bracket to receive the middle ramp just below deck height so I can kick out the ramp without having to lift the sled up once it’s loaded. Tailgate still bends a bit but the earth is round too so I can live with it.

    It's sad that they're expensive to import, they cost the price of a used full size truck in Canada :(

    • @AkatarawaJapan
      @AkatarawaJapan  4 года назад

      Bummer. You can get a good sled hauler here for a thousand bucks.

      Maybe it’s worth a trip to Japan and bring one home! I could sure use one, perfect for me.

      iv always wanted one, buddy of mine brought one in from Japan back in 2012 Canada, drove across few provinces.. did it the cheapest way possible . still came out to 7.5k CDN.
      few dealers round here sell them for 10k-12k turn KEI.
      just too costs too much when an old gm can pull 10k trailer for less cost..
