    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!!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Canada here, easy tip for dealing with kilometers on the speedo. Take first number and times by 6.
    50=30mph 5x6. 90km = 54 mph 9x6, 100=60mph 10x6. Good job on not buying a side by side, this will be way better.
