    Used for: EVERYTHING...lol. Farming, Fishing, Work Trucks, Construction, Beer Trucks, and anything else you can think of. They are called "Keitora's" in Japan. Kei (pronounced "Kay" ) - Keijidosha (660cc or less) and "tora" (pronounced "Torah") - basically shortened for "truck". My father-in-law drives ones to his business every day.

    I believe you have just increased Mayberry's Overall Sales of these Mini Trucks. What a great idea for Homesteaders and even farmers. They are economical to own and operate. They need to put you on a commision or a service rebate account for units sold by your referral. This is great info for everyone. ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND THE FAMILY!!

    Ninety-nine percent of Japanese farmers have "Kei trucks". Light trucks are called "kei-tora" for short in Japan. Fishermen also have Kei trucks. Kei trucks still support the Japanese economy.
    It is funny to see videos of that Kei truck being customized in various ways in the U.S., and I am impressed by the idea. from Japan.😄

    I love these trucks. It was the norm on the island of Okinawa, Japan where we lived back in 1978. When I first arrived to the island I thought they were so strange looking! But they are really the perfect size for so many things that you do on the farm! You're gonna love this little truck! Always!

    Such a smart move getting that truck. Here in Italy, they are all over the place, and the smaller ones with only 3 wheels haha. Many Italians own homes with some land and they use the truck to get around the property. I have neighbors who use theirs to move crates of olives or grapes during harvest, firewood for storage for winter, everything pretty much. I know you will love it.

    Really cool, and $5K to $8K is a nice price range for a vehicle. I've watched one or two videos about how these trucks are used in Japan; they sized the beds to exactly fit a standard type of crate used to haul produce, and made them very efficient and affordable for small farms. One has to expect that they are made with Japanese quality, too.

    Your need for one resonates for me well. I purchased 34 acres and need a utility vehicle. The Japanese Mini Trucks really are the superior utility vehicle and best value for what they can do. I've been thinking of getting a Suzuki Carry and I learned a few things in this video that help me understand why it is the right choice.

    I've lived in Tokyo Japan for 32+ years.
    I've owned a "Kei" (pronounced "kay") Truck or van for about 25 years. They are great.
    I have a Subaru, but I don't do much off-road, but in the snow the engine being in the rear is great.
    I drive my Kei van on the expressway all the time, but I've found a limit of about 3 hours is all you want to travel.
    Getting one makes sense, they get great gas mileage and a very reliable.
    Shifting with your left hand takes a bit to get used to, but you will get used to it.
    Cheers from Tokyo!

    @Dave-ty2qp Год назад

    I lived in Japan for about 7 years total, and those trucks were used for mostly city delivery, They were very versitile, and would haul about anything you could load on it and tie down. They seldom exceeded about 40 kph or 25 mph. If you got 20,000k on the odometer the truck has about 12,500 miles on it. Keep it greased, and oil changed and transmission and rear end lubed and you should be good to go. A much better value than a sxside. A real work horse so to speak. It does have side vents, and hood vents which will keep you cool in the summer, so enjoy the good life. PS. Roll the windows up if it rains. LOL

    These trucks are also best in towns and cities where the streets are very narrow and there is too much traffic and speed is not much of a consideration. They are easy to maneuver and easy to park and they can sometimes do the work of a large pickup much better and are far more economical. They also come with automatic transmission, air conditioning, and some are with dumping beds. People love fitting lifts and larger all terrain tires on them just to give them a better grip on dirt roads, rain or shine.
