      ​@@kman9884 what is work capacity exactly? If you don't mind me asking. I'm looking into getting a small truck with 4 cyl/5speed. Tacoma, colorado, etc. After looking around I'm now considering a kei truck just because of how simple they are and the fact most have super low miles.

    There are going to be big lawsuits in Georgia.
    These trucks were legal for a while and then they decided to revoke all of the registrations and bar the vehicles from the roads.
    They are great trucks. The US manufacturers and the oil industry hate the idea of inexpensive and fuel efficient trucks becoming the new norm.

    The 25% is the US Chicken Tax of 1964. Ford was getting around it with Ford Transit only a couple of years ago. They were built in Turkey. They had "Rear Seats" that if you act them funny, were rear seats. They come in, but because they had rear seats they could skirt some tariff laws. Once in the US, the rear seats were thrown away. In the 70s Japanese trucks wouldn't come in with truck beds. The beds were made in the US and attatched here.

    • @eatonjask
      @eatonjask 7 месяцев назад +5

      With the rear seats, the Transit was a passenger vehicle, not a truck, so the 25% tariff didn't apply.

    For anyone who doesn't know, Japan has strict rules on older vehicles so there's a glut of perfectly good used cars that can't be driven in Japan. You can buy an older Japanese vehicle for next to nothing and then just pay all the fees and shipping costs. As we see illustrated here, often the shipping and processing is more than the cost of the actual vehicle. Yet still cheaper than most used vehicles here.

    • @andyespo13
      @andyespo13 21 день назад

      Japan ships thousands of used cars to South America. Some very different models: AWD, diesel Toyota Corollas for example. Then, they switch the steering wheel to the left and modify the suspension. A bit scary to drive. These same used cars may not pass USA safety and emissions standards. Repair parts availability may also be an issue in the U.S.

      Bullshit, it's the same leanth as an F250 short bed, but it's not nearly as wide. The short bed has an extra 10 sq ft and the long bed an extra 18. Plus, you can buy a flatbed for an F250 that you could park two kei cars on.

    It's better to buy/ship used Japanese kei trucks from the Philippines. Why? Because other than having a large industry of selling used Japanese Kei trucks or even other Kei vehicles here, the best part is before they resell it, those kei trucks are already converted to LHD versions which is a requirement for all vehicles here in the Philippines before reselling it to the public. And because of this many of those dealerships can already be considered experts in converting those kei trucks since they had convert so many of them already.
