For me, it was no contest; my Honda Acty Street G is a much better everyday driver than a pickup truck. It's roomier, quieter, has more equipment, and better upholstery, and a generally more up scale interior. Also, it seems that while most trucks were beat to death, it's much easier to find a van that was privately owned in private use, and are in much better condition overall. One point, though; as I understand it, the vans are actually LIGHTER than the trucks. Seems counter intuitive. But Honda vans have fully unibody construction making them strong and light. The trucks are body on frame, just light a domestic pickup. They have that heavy frame so you can put a body on them, dump bed, or even a reefer box. Is the AWD that much slower? Maybe I should think of switching it off.
The left sticker on the front glass mean the last time they did full inspection for the car and that's they do it by professional shops here in Japan . And if there is small sticker in the center front glass is for government inspection center
Truck if you need a truck, Van if you need interior space. Buy what you need and going to use it for. Both you can carry lots but if you don't need a pickup bed.
My biggest question is the compatibility of parts. There is a Honda Acty Trailer Hitch that I'm wondering if it will bolt on to and Acty Street. Between the truck and the van, they can carry about the same cargo. I have three kids who I would like to take hunting out a haul road, and I have a small boat that needs to be towed from my house to the launch and back. I ordered a Ford Maverick XL AWD 4K, but I think a Honda Acty Street van would do what I need.
what part of NC you in? Im in southeast VA just picked my my Street about a month ago. I agree people act like its a Ferrari the amount of looks, pictures, and conversations I get about it.
In the market for one of these but hesitant about highway driving. Lots of long highway drives in my world. How bad is it really? Can it handle 2+ 5hr drives a month?
Man I don't get there is some idiots here in Florida that is buying a bunch of this and he paint it with the cheap piece of 💩paint that he can find and then he asking 8k or 10k for this are you kidding, I prefer to buy strait from japan

Where did you purchase your roof rack from??
Do you think you can fit a full size dirtbike in the back? KTM 250 to be exact. I would rather have the van over the truck.
Where did you get your roof racks?
do you know if this thing will hold a sheet of 4x8 ply?
where did you get the rims from?
Any idea how long it takes to ship one, I’m from NC also
Hows the fuel mileage? Im thinking about one of these for overnight beach trips and My youtube channel. Thank You.
There must be a prison time for filming vertically !!
He wasn't filming. He was digitally recording.
Loophole.
how difficult is it to get parts for these though? Like what if you need a water pump or something?
There is places here in State's to get parts, etc.
i’m really interested in getting one of these specifically the van style how can i get one??

These Kei vehicles were never made to handle the US highways. Will it do it? Most likely. Not intended for that use.
Do you have dimension of the rear cargo space ?
Just shy of being six ft from front seats to rear.
what is this camera angle?
