Japanese Mini Trucks are also famous by names of “Kei Class “or “K Class” vehicles. Kei means “light weight“. Here are some interesting facts about these Japanese 4×4 Kei Trucks:

• Japanese 4×4 Kei Mini Truck is an ATV – Off Road – versatile utility vehicle.
• In Japan, the Kei Mini Trucks must pass obligatory inspection and strict EPA emissions standards, the fee of inspections increase as the vehicle ages, resulting in early exchange.
• These Japanese Kei trucks are equipped with engines of 550cc to 660cc, liquid cooled, 2, 3 or 4 cylinder gasoline, 40 MPG

The Japanese 4×4 Kei Mini Trucks are 60 mph vehicles, but with U. S. Import Regulations they are limited to off road use & limited To 25 mph.

Even though Japanese Mini Trucks and Kei Trucks are believed to be road worthy but actually they are not! These Japanese Kei trucks are for non Hi-Way, off road use only in US. Due to the reality that these trucks possibly would not pass roll over or side impact trials and given their restricted speed (around 25 mph) they have not been accepted by the DOT and NHTSA for highway use.

The Japanese Mini trucks are at present offered for off-road use only; they are not officially permitted for use on highways. However some states are allowing them, even licensing them. However according to recent US regulations we cannot, nor do we import nor sell them, for anything other than off-road use. Some Japanese Mini Vehicle importers modify the Japanese trucks with speed warning devices to meet or exceed per EPA 40 CFR 85.1703. (A) Not to exceed 25 MPH to not allow the drivers to break any laws that may oversee these diminutive trucks. This is the rules under which they import them & have no option.

“Minitrucks” are just that. Diminutive, two seat utility trucks that are used throughout Japan in all types of applications. From muddy farming workhorses, to delivery trucks, mobile merchandise stands, to shipping construction equipments. Anyone that has tripped Japan would definitely have noticed the huge volume of these handy small vehicles being used in all facets of daily life. Also famous as the “K Truck” or in Japanese “Keitora”, they are power-driven by liquid cooled two to four cylinder 550cc or 660cc engines. These Japanese Micro Trucks have been engineered to offer years of heavy-duty service and are a common sight everywhere in Japan.

Samurai Trucks only imports the 4wd Japanese Mini truck versions for off-road applications.  However this Japanese Vehicle Importation disallows them for Highway use. This is because Japanese Mini trucks do not meet US emission & safety standards for on-road registration due to the truth that there are no Emissions statements from the Manufacturer for the EPA, there are no crash or impact studies and their size.

Japanese “K” or “Kei” class trucks are all similar, (the same only different) but there are some distinctions between manufactures and year of manufacture. Suzuki, Mitsubishi, and Daihatsu have greater ground approval and have Mid Engines. Honda and Subaru have rear mounted engines and thus have a softer ride.

Japanese Mini Trucks are intended to be workhorses for transporting heavy loads in intense and adverse environments. Japan is a mountainous countryside and the Mini truck is mainly operated on the twisty, hilly roads many of which are bumpy & dirt, as well as the highways of Japan. Japans cities and marketplaces are tight, narrow and space is at a premium. Therefore these Japanese Mini trucks come equipped with high-quality, high-performance engines, transmissions, brakes, and cooling systems to meet these requirements. Japanese Mini trucks are designed for relieve and ease of operation. These Japanese trucks must be able to do everything from hauling a load of sand, soil or rocks to rushing an express delivery down a rural road or in the tight marketplace areas.

Japanese “Kei Class” or “K Class” subcompact mini trucks are manufactured by main Japanese auto manufacturers that we are all familiar with and know them to be strong consistent vehicles that hold their worth.

Honda’s model is the “ACTV” Suzuki  the “Carry” Daihatsu has the “Hijet”, Mitsubishi names theirs “The Minicab” ,Subaru has one it’s called the “Sambar” Mazda’s Scram  is manufactured by Suzuki & is mainly the same with  the Logo’s  and placards being different.  Daihatsu is in fact Toyota’s Kei Class Division As most of us here in the U.S have found is these manufacturers have produced tremendously reliable strong running products. The Japanese Mini Trucks are no different. They make excellent sense for our off-road requirements here in the US

Japan’s farming inclined styling is a sincere reflection of its Mini Trucks proficiency. Some see the attractiveness in an automobile which has clearly been planned with function as the top precedence. Japan’s farm employ roots are well represented in the style of the Japanese Mini Trucks. Sharp-edged lines of the Micro trucks and other Japanese vehicles bodies rapidly evolution into a rounded nose fitted with composite headlamps. The style is truly inimitable. The combination manifests itself as fairly of an odd historical timeline of Japanese mini-trucks from the late-1970’s to the mid-1990’s. It’s been a long time since American’s have seen exterior tie-down cleats on a truck box.

The question Japanese Micro Truck is: Will the recent styling for Japanese Mini trucks transform into sufficient US vehicle sales?

The Japanese Mini Trucks are matchless and indeed carve a position, but as noted in the earlier posts, Japanese Mini Truck Manufacturers will likely be faced with absorbing the Chicken Tax into their North American operations in some way. If that rate has to be passed on to consumers through an increase in vehicle cost, these Japanese mini truck manufacturers have to make sure that they have reduced their niche further than formerly anticipated. However Toyota and Nissan have already sought after to pass up the chicken tax by moving some pick-up manufacturing facilities to the United States.

Styling is a key factor in an American society that has come to suppose a high level of style in even the lowest priced vehicles. There are quick looks of wonderful Japanese Mini Truck designs coming out Japan on the websites of different Japanese Mini truck importers here is US (do a Google search!).

The acceptance and impressions of Japanese Mini Trucks means a lot to both the manufacturers of mini trucks in Japan and the importers of these trucks in US. If the Mini Trucks from Japan offer outstanding performance and value for their cost, many will possibly accept the styling as it is, but it will not be everybody’s favorite choice. To grow their US market share, Japanese Mini truck makers will not only need to ensure the quality, service, and performance, they will also have to develop a signature design route and further build up styling that stands out in the US background.

A new set of small trucks, now restricted to off-road use, will have the state approval to pass through on some Arkansas highways if House Bill 1148 finds its approach into law.

As said by a bill’s sponsor, Steve Cole, D-Lockesburg, granting the Japanese Mini Trucks have the capability to drive on smooth roads will give farmers and ranchers a reasonable alternative to pick up small loads at feed stores and other places off the farm or ranch.

The motor vehicles are mostly manufactured in Japan and other overseas nations, have three-cylinder engines, can bear payloads of up to 800 pounds and often get as much as 45 miles per gallon. They generally have four-wheel drive ability, but are sturdier built than all-terrain vehicles because they have enclosed cabs. Many have heating and air-conditioning as well as seat belts, turn signals and other safety attributes, including an air bag.

A Japanese Mini Truck from a De Queen dealership, Twin Rivers ATV LLC, was parked outside the state Capitol on Tuesday as part of the attempt to win support for the bill.

The Second-Hand Japanese Mini Trucks sell for about $5,000, said Sherri Anderson a used Vehicle dealer.

“They’ve been very popular [with] ergonomically good designs for farms and ranches,” she said, adding that they had a heavier payload than another option for off-road use, all-terrain vehicles.

Rep. John C. Edwards, D-Little Rock, evoked his trip of military duty in Iraq in heartily endorsing the bill. According to him one of the few things that operated competently was Japanese Micro Trucks in Iraq. The House Public Transportation Committee gave the bill a do-pass reference. It now goes to the House.

Under the bill, the Japanese Mini Trucks would be a division 8 vehicle, which carry limited farm or natural-resources tags. Theses Japanese Motor Vehicle holders would be required to present state revenue officials with an agenda of their purpose and use on state highways, Cole said. The Japanese mini trucks also wouldn’t be allowed on interstates or any other highway with a posted speed limit exceeding 55 mph. And whoever drives them must have a driver’s license and carry insurance for the automobile.

The Japanese Vehicles are ideal for small tasks that occasionally take farmers and ranchers off their land.

Cole has a farmer in Lockesburg and a need to pick up feed at neighboring cooperative that’s 12 miles away. It’s very inexpensive to use a Japanese mini truck to go over there and come back. Cole dismissed objections about how safe the Japanese vehicles would be on state highways.

The highest 4$ price of gas is fueling interest in an unusual substitute to the standard farm pickup, the Japanese Mini Truck.

At least, there is budding interest around Green Forest, an Ozarks town where dwellers confirm that Japanese Mini Trucks from manufacturers such as Daihatsu Hijet, Suzuki Carry and similar models are an ever more common scene.

Bud Phillips, a poultry farmer  believes that he was the first one in Green Forest  to buy a Japanese Micro Trucks in January from a recreational-vehicle dealer in Harrison. Now, there are possibly about eight or nine of them.

Phillips said he and the other Japanese Mini Truck holders he knows bought their trucks for work on the farm. With gas hanging around $ 4 a gallon, some owners and prospective owners eyeing fuel-efficiency rates advertised as high as 55 mpg are exciteed to take the little Japanese Mini trucks on the road, said Green Forest Police Chief John Bailey. John Bailey He said has received some objections from doubtful motorists passing the snub-nosed trucks on the roads and has started investigating how they may officially be used. He assumed it seems they can be driven between farms, like a tractor. However the State Office of Motor Vehicles declares that these feul saving Japanese Mini trucks cannot officially be approved in Arkansas. Among the agency’s explanations: regulatory fears that these Japanese vehicles don’t meet up federal safety standards; the makers don’t issue the certificates of origin that are necessary for title and registration; and the engines are not qualified by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Bryan King, R-Berryville, State Rep and the owner of a poultry and cattle farm in Green Forest and owns a Japanese Mini Truck as well. He has retired his dad’s the’75 pickup (taking seven miles to the gallon) bought when Gerald Ford was president.

Jim Newberry, a Green Forest seller who sells the Suzuki brand, said the Japanese Motor Vehicles range from $ 4, 500 to $ 6, 500, depending on the model and preferences such as air conditioning and radios. These Mini truck from Japan are imported either new or used. At 10 / 2 feet long and only 4 / 2 feet wide, the Japanese Mini trucks are shorter and narrower than a normal pickup. Top speed is about 55 mph, Newberry said. He also tells that most of these models two seated, but there are extended-cab versions. He is new in this business and has sold four of them with fuel mileage “up in the 40 s and possibly into the 50 s. according to him many customers are interested in licensed Japanese Mini Trucks. He has seen saw one in Mississippi with a license plate on it.

Chuck Nelms, director of the Mississippi Motor Vehicle Commission has no informations if his his agency is licensing the Japanese Mini Trucks.

The state of Louisiana soon will allow the Japanese Mini Trucks with engines of at least 660 cubic centimeters permissible on streets and highways, except interstates. Gov. Bobby Jindal authorized it by signing Senate Bill 771 into law on July 7. That law comes with a couple of warnings: Vehicles have to meet up federal and state safety and emissions standards, and the law is canceleded if it causes the federal government to yank highway dollars from Louisiana. The law takes effect on Aug. 15.

Nic Hundley, the owner of Second Hand Trucks, a dealer in Branch, La has ordered Japanese Mini Trucks after getting new hopes from this law.

In Green Forest, Newberry anticipates he would vend more, too, if the Arkansas rules change to authorize these Japanese Mini Trucks on the road and this law would increase the number of Japanese Mini Truck owners on the road.
