Thread 28690333

are kei-trucks practical vehicles?

i desperately want one

It's better than walking.

>>28690333 (OP)
Not if you plan on doing any highway miles. Fun to poke around town in, but definitely not built for highway speeds for any actual length of time.

Site/town hack. Eight by four is the size every truck used to be measured by and you can get that in a hatchback.

>>28690333 (OP)
>a vehicle that compromises on comfort, efficiency, handling and speed for maximum practicality
>except it's so small you can't haul shit

>>28690377
but they look so cool

>>28690333 (OP)
They cover daily tasks very well. If you plan ahead more than a week, they're too small. They're like the "last half-mile" type of vehicle that you drive around large properties or on your land where the big farm truck might not make sense.

>>28690377
>except it's so small you can't haul shit

>>28690333 (OP)
Well, they're practically vehicles.

>>28690710
>bed length = weight capacity
how much can your japtruck tow?

>>28690742
Anon, it's a city truck. Obviously it's not for pullin houses down and haulin oil rigs 6000 miles through Texas. Shit that most truck owners don't do anyway.

>>28690333 (OP)
They're literally work trucks, no shit they're practical.
They're built for small japanese streets and low speeds though so they're not ideal for spread out american cities and highways. If you want one to drive around town or as a farm truck, they're great.

The sambar is generally considered the best for highway use as it has the highest top speed, and the 4 banger is a little better than the triples in the other offerings. Also you get more cabin room if you're tall
The suzuki carry f6a is the same engine in cappuccinos which had a factory turbo if you want an easy bolt on turbo, but the actual location of the engine sucks compared to the acty or sambar.
Actys are good because Hondas just werk, but they're all about the same.

>>28690333 (OP)
Not in the developed world. They're useless on-road. Yes that includes inner city usage. Being slower than a semi tractor is not practical. Nobody thinks they're cute or quirky they just think you're a fucking asshole for using the wrong tool for the job. Even off-road on a big piece of land they still can't do what a UTV or a quad can do. They're also pointless in America because they're old as fuck by the time you can import them. Dropping $5k+ on a 25 year old truck that's a bitch to get parts for is not practical.

>>28690796
Not to mention a lot of states won't let you register them

>>28690796
>They're useless on-road. Yes that includes inner city usage.
Retard
>Nobody thinks they're cute or quirky they just think you're a fucking asshole
Literally never met a single person that voices this opinion other than (you) on this shithole.

>>28690939
Care to elaborate on that? The average vehicle on the roads does 0-60 in under 6 seconds... How does driving something that can't even go 60 make any sense?

>this shithole
Bingo. This place is a bunch of low test faggots who like pedo cartoons on their vehicles. Of course they like and defend these cuck toys.

>>28690951
>The average vehicle on the roads does 0-60 in under 6 seconds
holy fucking retard

>>28690952
I think you missed the "developed world" part of my original post. Here 50% of traffic is new pickup trucks which do 60 in under 6 seconds. The rest is all Teslas and high end crossovers/SUV's which also pull that off.

>>28690962
People aren't fucking gunning it as fast as their car can physically go from every stop, anon. You could outpace city traffic in a 100hp shitbox if you felt like it.

>>28690962
you're genuinely too stupid to attempt to converse with. I assume you're the same dipshit that seethes at kei trucks every single kei truck thread.

I have cars that take 10+ seconds to get to 60 and have literally no problem keeping up with traffic. I "beat" people off the line through intersections in it while just driving normally. People aren't flooring it off the line and trying to get the lowest ET to 60 at every red light. Most people barely fucking move, even if we were to pretend that your sub 6 seconds average is even remotely true (it's not)

reminder that the c5 corvette is ~5 seconds to 60 stock. and your claim is that's an average car on the road today? lmfao

>>28690951
>The average vehicle on the roads does 0-60 in under 6 seconds
wut

>>28690970
Depends where you live I guess. Here people are either slow as fuck or aggressive as fuck. They're for sure going to be aggressive when they see this cuckbox. That's going to make you look slow and look like an asshole.

>>28690972
Why the fuck are you bringing up a 20 year old sports car when were talking new vehicles here? Yes there are a lot of fucking new vehicles that are faster than 20 year old "fast" cars. Do they not have technology where you spawned from? Now how the fuck do you think a 25 year old dangerously slow vehicle will perform with these new vehicles?

>>28690976
Where is that the average vehicle? Nobody buys those in North America. Again... Lets review the "developed world" part.

>>28690970
>You could outpace city traffic in a 100hp shitbox if you felt like it.
I outpaced traffic in my exactly 101whp miata literally every single day when I had it.
I can even outpace traffic in my 65hp mk1 golf and my 63hp samurai.
literally any car that can reach speed limit will keep up with average traffic without any problem. but anon read a brochure for his 4 foot bed f150 and thinks 5.4 seconds to 60 is what he gets from leisurely driving.

>>28690990
>Depends where you live I guess.
no, it really doesn't. there's no where on earth that average traffic is flooring it every stop. you're full of shit.
>Where is that the average vehicle? Nobody buys those in North America.
no one buys cuckovers in the us anymore? sure fooled me when I saw 800 of them today. literally saw 3 corolla crosses like an hour ago on my drive home.
let me guess, no one's buying rav4s either?
a c5 may be 25 years old, but it's still a 3100lb 350hp car. that's going to be faster than a vast majority of cars on the road today.

>>28690996
YOu're still not getting it. Do you not understand how a vehicle that does 0-60 in the 5-9 second range will still be fast as fuck at 50% throttle compared to something that does 0-50 in 20+ seconds at full power?

People gobble cuckovers up but they're going for higher end hybrids like the RAV4 plug in or your stereotypical basic bitch German cuckover like the Q5, X5, etc.

>>28690999
Thank you for backing me up???

>>28690951
>The average vehicle on the roads does 0-60 in under 6 seconds
>>28690999
>3 cars under 6 seconds, one by .1 second for a higher trip, one is a tesla that drive slower than the average prius from 20 years ago, and one is the highest trim v6 trd camry, while the actual hybrid shitheap people buy takes 7 seconds

7-9 is your actual average, with 6 being "quick" traffic.
and again, none of this fucking matters because no one is driving as fast as their car can possibly go at every stop. average is probably more like 10-15 seconds.
I outpace people at stop lights in my 63 hp, 19 second to 60 samurai, which is to my knowledge the only usdm street legal kei car.

They are fine for a small property or if you live in Asia. I wouldn't drive one in the USA or Australia. I have a kc Suzuki carry that I just use as a beater when I make under 20 minute trips.

>>28690990
>Depends where you live I guess.
No, anon, it does not depend where you live. No one is ripping 5 second 0-60s at every stop light.
What I think is happening here, is that you don't own or drive a car, and so you have no concept of how fast a 5/6 second 0-60 really is.

>>28691027
>drive kei truck on us roads
>brittany filming a tiktok doesn't see her light is red
>plows into your truck
>you die
yeah nah fuck driving basically anything in the US. we need to revoke 80% of licenses.

>>28691042
I don't know where you retards live that people are flooring it from stoplight to stoplight and tiktokers are crashing into your cars every day, but driving in my area seems a lot less chaotic.

>>28691009
>>28691041
Man you guys are really struggling with this really simple concept. Cope by posting slow crossovers all you want but that doesn't change the fact that a kei truck will still be holding back a 400hp truck or a 300hp minivan or even slower vehicles at 20% throttle.

>>28691044
I saw a 6 car pileup today and saw someone rearend a car at ~40 without even attempting to slow down. people suck at driving. I actually support the average grocery getting being self driving because they'd probably be less likely to kill me in their 9000lb ev cuckover.
there literally is not a single day that goes by that I don't see at least half a dozen people I would consider bad drivers.

>>28691046
Again, anon, you can outpace traffic in the slowest rickety fucking shitbox imaginable because people don't actually drive all that fast.

>>28691046
you're making up a scenario that doesn't reflect reality based on specs your read online. this isn't even typical /o/ benchracing, this is just bench casual driving
if you're going to speed of traffic you aren't holding anyone up. The 400hp truck driver isn't trying to break a land speed record on 45mph city streets. kei trucks are fine for what they were intended for, which is why they continue to be produced and used every day in japan.
I saw literally hundreds in the 2 weeks I was there and never once saw someone blaring on their horn for them to get out of the way.

>>28691047
And yet somehow all these retards manage to crash into each other and never me. Makes you think.

>>28691054
>it could never happen to me
you can avoid most accidents with good situational awareness and defensive driving, but sometimes you just get unlucky. I've made it 13 years without a single accident, but I try not to get careless since I know its entirely possible.
a friend of mine got tboned by a highschool girl because, and I quote, "I was texting, I always hit this light green so I didn't even look up"

>>28691061
See, if there were a car about to blow through an intersection I would simply not pull out in front of it.

>>28691062
I don't know exactly what happened, but according to him
>driving up to red light
>light turns green ~5 seconds before he gets to it
>drive through light
>teenager driving on side street (so low visibility with fences/houses/trees in the way) plows into him

I knew another guy who got hit head on by a driver who got on the freeway the wrong direction because he was about 50 shots deep
so yeah, it sounds nice that you could never be the victim of a retard, but retards are everywhere.

>>28691074
>retards are everywhere
I'm well aware, it's why I compulsively look for them every time I go anywhere.

>>28691087
keep up the good work friend, I pray for both of us to never encounter one

>>28690333 (OP)
Some other anon mentioned it but the problem with these things in the US is that used side by sides are cheaper and more practical in their size category.

>>28690710
>350kg payload
THREE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY
KG

(less than a honda civic)

>>28691171
It can do more truck stuff than most truck owners will ever do with their truck.

>>28691180
this will be perfect for when I need half a square meter of gravel road built

>>28691233
The most that 90% of people ever haul is some gravel, dirt, or mulch for flowerbeds. Some construction materials, drywall, osb. Maybe a big piece of furniture.

>>28691180
It will get MOGGED by a small Truck with an actual truck engine.

>>28691282
It's also a fraction of the price.

>>28690334
I see these kinds of things at work sites a lot. Idk I don't see the benefit over a hilux or something.

>>28691289
They're less than half the price.

>>28691290
and less than quarter the functionality

>>28691299
Once more, they can do more than 90% of truck owners ever will. Great for a contractor or something in a metro area.

>>28691137
>used side by sides are cheaper and more practical
not even remotely true lol
farmers love these things because they're just better street legal* side by sides.

Christ if this thread shows the mind of the average pickup owner then America is fucked.

>>28690749
As a Texan I can confirm, most truck buyers are faggots who never use their truck bed. I haul more shit in my Porsche than most people do in their Fords and Chevys.

>>28691283
nope

>>28691290
Ok I agree with you then. They seem like good fleet vehicles to zoom around a project with carrying random crap.

>>28691503
It's literally just a small cheap utility truck. I'm not getting how people are confused by their purpose or their practicality.
They're just slow so they suck for highways

I would reply to more but the spam filter is catching me
I have never seen one of these in my fucking life and I have been all over the country. Why the fuck would somebody import one of these clown car joke shitmobiles powered by a moped engine when they could just buy an S10 or a ranger and weld up a flatbed in a weekend? One of those can actually go into town, or get itself out of a muddy ditch/field. 0/10 never reproduce.

NOT SPAM REEEEEEEEEEE

>>28691753
they're just cool as fuck and i'm not american

>>28691760
>>28691753
Also, domestic vs imported spare parts. You walk into a NAPA and you walk back out with an alternator, water pump, belt tensioner, ball joint, etc for a Ranger in 5 minutes. Your little joke clown truck breaks? That'll be weeks of waiting for that part on a boat, or still a couple days for air mail.

>>28691767
>he doesn't know how to overnight parts from japan

>>28691753
Jesus, shut up you fucking retard

>>28691328
>90% of people never travel on standard US highways you stupid fucking chud, now buy the useless gokart truck with a motorcycle engine to haul one wheelbarrow load at a time from the store 30 minutes away in a car that can actually do the speed limit!

>>28691009
I daily'd a samurai for a couple years. It was occasionally dangerous merging onto the highway and had trouble maintaining speed flatout up hills. Granted this was a city at 5000 feet where you take a 65 mph interstate to get across town.

>>28691825
Refute any of my points, Mr pot talking to the kettle.

>>28690333 (OP)
In Japan, yes.

>>28691753
>I have never seen one of these in my fucking life and I have been all over the country.
Because you can't drive them on the road in most of the country, so the ones that are here get used as farm trucks and never leave the owners property.

>>28692054
>Durrr let me import a FUCKING USELESS motorcycle engine turd that needs three weeks of downtime minimum when it breaks, has no 4x4, and small, skinny tires instead of buying a $2000 salvage title Ranger that has hail damage and some rust, or Jim's old UTV (which, by the way, CAN be registered/operated on the fucking road)

Actually kill yourself. Not just the 4chan catch all for calling you retarded. You are such a fucking stupid gorilla retard nigger that the only thing you could possibly contribute to the world is feeding some plants with your corpse.

>>28692082
>2 foot bed
cool

>>28692084
The intended use case for a Mule/other UTV is to bring a bed (and thus power tools, dead brush, dirt, rocks, cement, whatever) into places that a regular truck could not reach, such as into wetland, a private ATV/dirtbike trail loop your kid and his friends have made in the wooded section, etc, therefore a 3-4 foot bed is a lot better than nothing.

>>28691753
this is exactly what I did because I wanted to haul bikes around and tow my foxbody to the track. $1500 for a 96 longbed with the 4.0 here in michigan. One of these days I'll make a foam cube camper to so I can also have a mini overland build when I want one.

rather funny to see anons complain about people not using their trucks to want a truck that can't tow or deal with any weight in the bed

>>28692091

A kei truck is this except for narrow 200 year old japanese streets. And it's got a better payload capacity.

>>28692097
Is a kei truck 4x4 with skiplates, decent ground clearance, and approach/departure angles? Does it have a roll cage? I didn't fucking think so.

>>28692099
>>28692097
>Durrrrr it's ok we got stuck for 10x as long, we only took two trips instead of three to clear the brush from the trail for the season!

>>28692099
Do you need that shit on narrow city streets? Because that's what kei trucks are designed for.

>>28692099
>Does it have a roll cage?
Most people don't roll their car on the regular, that's just you.

>>28692124
>>28692132
Didn't you just say that the kei trucks were never leaving the farm property? Holy shit you're stupid.

>>28692137
What sort of delusional bullshit are you trying to make up?? You know we can literally scroll up to see previous posts.

>>28692140
Are you talking to yourself?

>>28692146
Read that again, retard.

>>28692137
In the US
Where you can only import them as historical vehicles due to protectionist legislation that has nothing to do with the actual utility of the vehicle.
In Japan they're just normal cars and you're allowed to drive them wherever.

>>28692157
>That get used as farm trucks and never leave the owners property
>>28692124
>>28692132
So why are you making these replies ^^^^^ for a use case these trucks will never see

>>28692184
You're talking to at least two different people, anon.

>>28690749
>city truck
Here lies the problem.
US doesn't have cities anymore.
These are nothing but toys in America.
>Shit that most truck owners don't do anyway.
It's just a full size BoF car with a V8 that you can still buy.
Japanese trucks are diesgned to work around Japanese laws, and ours are made to work around our laws.

>>28692322
>US doesn't have cities anymore.
I'd call you a flyoverlet but even the most nothing flyover states have metro areas.

>>28690333 (OP)
I like my little guy.

>>28690377
It'll haul whatever you can put in it

>>28692099
>4x4
Most of them are
>with skiplates
Not usually but you can add them
>decent ground clearance, and approach/departure angles
Yes

>>28691747
It's not happy about it but it can do it

>>28692491
Is it going to haul that at 80+mph?

>>28692491
>way overloaded
>suspension bottomed out
>can't get up to any reasonable speed
>can't brake

The things gei truck faggots do to cope with buying a useless cuckmobile....

>>28692559
>>28692569
those goal posts must be getting heavy by now

>>28692618
Don't make retarded comparisons. If you're going to compare it to an American truck and claim it's better it better be able to do everything the other truck can but better. You know what else will haul whatever you want? A horse and a buggy. Practicality? You don't need to charge it or fuel it up. Just leave it in a grassy field and it fuels it's self! Oh and it can also drive it's self home. Can your 25 year old truck do that? Hmm not very practical huh?

>>28692630
Nobody said it was better. They said it can do everything that 95% of truck owners ever use their trucks for.

>>28692637
It can't even do (real-world, everyday) highway speeds.

>>28692637
This whole thread was made to somehow show how kei truck are superior to American trucks... Yeah most people use their pickups as big comfy and fast sedans. A kei truck clearly can't do any of that so why even recommend it on a North American image board?

>>28692641
I can literally see anons pic of one at highway speed right now.
>>28692642
>This whole thread was made to somehow show how kei truck are superior to American trucks...
The question posed in the OP was
>are kei-trucks practical vehicles?
not
>are kei-trucks better and more capable than the All New 2026 Ford F-150

you just have a chip on your shoulder about them for whatever reason

>>28692646
>revving the absolute tits off it to barely do 70, unloaded
I said real-world, everyday highway speeds.

>>28692646
They're not practical. They're a little joke toy that can move some shit around slowly. A $2000 Ranger does the exact same thing but better in every single way UNLESS you are in Japan and need the utmost in compactness for your city streets.

>>28692091
>therefore a 3-4 foot bed is a lot better than nothing.
A 5-6 foot bed is better than a 3-4 foot bed
The option isn't a chode bed or nothing, it's a chode bed or a normal sized bed.

>>28692099
>Is a kei truck 4x4 with skiplates, decent ground clearance, and approach/departure angles?

Yes to literally all of that lol

He's been at this, that I know of, for over 2 years. He posts in every single kei truck thread with the same posts verbatim.
I'm convinced a kei truck driver raped him.

>>28692691
>A $2000 Ranger does the exact same thing
A $2000 ranger barely runs and is one pothole away from splitting in half.

Huh.

>>28690333 (OP)
As utility vehicle for your sizeable chunk of land - surely. Otherwise - it's either city only truck for doing light tradie stuff in office buildings or your remote mountain village hauler for your small workshop.

>>28693642
>remote mountain village hauler for your small workshop
this is the life i want. how do i get there?

>>28693718
Save up some money and move to Tajikistan or something.

>>28690333 (OP)
No
Not because it is small, but because it is slow
Also can't tow anything but the smallest and saddest of trailers.

>>28693152
right that's why you asked if they were practical, not if they were cool or not. please end it

>>28693142
I kept seeing a little SWB dual cab Canter on my marketplace for $4k
I have no use for it but it was very tempting

>>28693873
Yes, they are practical. The end.

>>28692630
You're the one making a retarded comparison, expecting a 1900lb 660cc 3cyl truck to perform in every way identical to an 5.0l F150.

>>28693750
Mine doesn't have a hitch but if you add one the chassis is rated for 300lb tongue weight. So technically you could pull up to a 3000lb trailer with it. Though I absolutely wouldn't do that without trailer brakes, and you would be limited to backroads

>>28690333 (OP)
I used to think that they weren't, but having a small, nimble truck that costs nothing to run and can do most small tasks is great, I'd imagine they should be pretty fun on a backroad too, in a scary kind of way

>>28694136
Are you in North America? Our company had a couple Canters back in the day and holy fuck. Those are hands down the worst vehicles imaginable to the point of being dangerous. Literally a downgrade from a horse and buggy. We probably put $50k into them and we still couldn't get them to run right.

>>28694231
It's 2025. A practical vehicle should be able to do what the average vehicle on the roads can do.

>>28694245
They're literally purpose built work vehicles. What's with your faggot ass being so butthurt by their existence?

>>28694279
I'm not butthurt about anything. Just don't go claiming that they're better or more practical than an American pickup truck that can function as a purpose built work vehicle AS WELL as a comfy and practical daily driver.

>>28694283
>that they're better or more practical than an American pickup truck
no one ever claimed that
That's something your schizo ass pulled out of thin air

>>28694287
c'mon anon. We have 5 anti pickup truck treads a day in this shithole... You really think these kei truck threads aren't just another variation of an anti-pickup thread? What's wrong with you people? Is it because your wives bull drives a pickup?

>>28690377
>>except it's so small you can't haul shit
american automotive propaganda works I see

>>28691282
>100
At least post a 200 to represent a real truck

Anyone who doesn't like keis is a stuck up no fun faggot.

>>28694303
An apples to apples comparison would be a dyna 100 and a f150.

>>28694289
You need stronger meds

>>28694327
But it wouldn't. Jap trucks are trueblood small commercial vehicle - you get to the docks, railway station or whatever else cargo terminal, you load up your cargo, you deliver it, done deal. Murrican pickups are mini tractors that can go on a highway and occasionally transport a stack of 2x4. Very different design goals.

>>28694382
What about a econline 350 vs a dyna 200, chassis wise they're the same.
If I could I'd go the dyna with the ford engine.

>>28694417
>a econoline

el diablo no quiere usar pantalones en mi casa y no se porque

>>28693873
are you retarded or something? i wanted to make an interesting thread to get replies. the riced out truck with a question about practicality didn't clue you in?

>>28694283
The modern American pickup is a body on frame sedan with an open air trunk that's mostly for showing off status.
A kei truck is meant to be cheap to operate, cheap to insure, and the most utility you can get out of the limitations of the class regulations. It has more in common with how we viewed and used trucks in the 80s and early 90s than we do now.

I moved a washing machine, fridge, 2 stools, fold out chair, a 32 inch tv stand, a side table drawer, a fuck huge pc desktop table and legs, a rice cooker, a blender, and some other shit. With a passenger.

Then went back and got a split system AC, and like 4 other small items. Breddi gud

>>28694734

for farm use, yeah

they mog shitty side by sides

>>28694734
Nooooooo you can't use the utility truck designed purely for functionality to actually move things! Some raging retarded faggot that got gapped by a kei truck 3 years ago told me so!

>>28694528
I have seen this exact thread at least 10 times this year

>>28694818
well it's certainly the first time i made one

>>28694818
and you've seethed in all of them

>>28694905
nuh uh I did your mom in all of them

>>28694279
imagine putting a camper on that and having a portable treehouse

>>28694283
they literally are better than american "trucks" in some regards.
anon posted a perfect example. the pavement princess 4 1/2 foot bed f150 doesn't have a scissor lift or dump bed or crane or fire truck or any of the other various configurations kei trucks are sold as, it doesn't have fold flat bed sides to make it into a flatbed, it can't get 50 mpg, it can't fit down narrow atv trails

Truggs are significantly better than kei trucks in some ways as well, making literally 10-20x the power, high top speed, better acceleration, better tow capacity, better load rating, etc.

If you need something like a sxs or just want something for around town that will rarely see highway use, kei trucks are ideal.
If you need something for daily driving in comfort with no limitations to highway driving, to tow your boat, 5th wheel, multiple pallets of cinderblocks, etc, an f150 is the better option.

I make custom furniture in my shop. none of it is massively heavy, but it is bulky, and I have to transport it down a narrow path on the side of my house to get it to my truck or vice versa. The shipping center I take it to is about 2 miles away. For that purpose, a kei truck would shit on an f150 in practicality.
>b-b-b-but what if you need to go 90 mph while hauling 87 mexicans and 12 pallets of lead???
yeah I don't need that. I don't care if a vehicle can do that. I buy tools made for the job they're used for. I wouldn't use a 1" impact to tighten valve cover, and I wouldn't use a 1/4" impact to break loose a hub nut. Different tools for different tasks. Dumb fuck.

>>28695221

>>28694753
I can't believe there are anons in this thread trying to say some dogshit kawasaki golf cart with a 2ft bed is just as practical

You'll never see these go mainstream because they can't keep up interstate and major highway speeds while hauling load. They are also insanely uncomfortable for long drives and anyone who tells you otherwise is just being a disingenuous weeb shill.

>>28695473
A real truck would be able to carry a ham planet

>>28690710

>But what about other trucks with 4 ft beds
They're for trailers. Most American compact sedans have more towing capacity.

>>28690333 (OP)
No, unless you're a short person (Or I guess regular height) in Japan where you can't get a used hatchback. Otherwise they're slow, sad, and pretty useless.

>>28691180
My man, that lift bed cut your capacity by 300 pounds. People could haul more gravel in a Fiat.

>>28691255
>He thinks he can make it up a gradual hill with more than a couple sheets
You're better off mounting it to the top of your car. You can get TWO used cars with 160 hp, and literally seven times the brake power for the price of one of these useless things.

>>28690993
You're not getting up to highway speeds with 65hp pulling 3,000 pounds.

>>28695546
>He thinks he can make it up a gradual hill with more than a couple sheets
Japan is mountainous as fuck. They handle hills just fine.
And you keep neglecting the most important factor. They're like $10k new.

>>28690333 (OP)
their top speed is too low for my local highways so fuck no. I kind of want to drive one anyway just for the experience.

>>28695583
Gei trucks are for the city cucks who put Amazon boxes in the back

Kei is not for highway (motorway use) use. A VW Beetle is similarly unsuitable these days.

>>28695496
>You'll never see these go mainstream
they already are mainstream, just not in the US.

>>28695546
you were wrong from literally the very first character in your post and it never got better. jesus christ why do people type shit like this out while being demonstrably wrong about literally every single thing in the information age? you're on the internet, you have google. fucking use it.

>>28695583
You are hard pressed to find a car with less than double the horsepower of that truck. It doesn't handle things just fine. It has a 0-60 of 32 seconds going downhill with no load.


A 2012 ford focus, a car you can get eight of for the price of one of these useless things is able to achieve a 0-60 in 8 seconds on level ground, and is able to stop on a dime compared to the lacking brakes of this useless vehicle.

>>28695732
So you're comparing the largest model to the smallest model? The 6 foot bed (Not pictured anywhere in this thread because they take the already anemic acceleration, and bring it to a pathetic 0-60 in never) is retard stuff.

>>28695533
seems obnoxiously large for what it is
like maybe if you want to uncomfortable cook in there sure but really with the space these little fuckers give you really should only be using one to sleep
like negro the point is to have the world be your home so youre not stuck in a box
dont just make an even smaller box to get stuck in
like sure now its easier to cook when its raining and you can stand up without possible getting wet
but i like my concept because it still leaves you a truck bed that you can also use as a lifted patio to idk put an umbrella and table on to do whatever
once my tokens reset ill give an update to the concept

also that not even your pic

Haul 3 dirt bikes where, from your backyard to your front yard?

Do you not understand what it takes to go out riding? Bikes, gear, fuel, food, water...

Kei trucks are a meme.
Theyre the fedora of the automotive world.
They do every job poorly. Anything they do, something else does better.

>>28696128
I wonder how retarded japs would think this discourse is?

The average japanese person never travels farther than 50 miles from where they were born.

If I was doing a road trip on a motorcycle in the U.S. id be on a full dress Harley, BMW or gold wing (preferably the goldwing).
If I was sight seeing in Italy or france id be on a Vespa.
Kei trucks only work in a very small sector. Look at where they were created for, theyre sharing the road with horse drawn carts.

My neighbor has a kei truck. The only benefit it had over a SxS was being street legal (which many states have retroactively cancelled registration for).
On the farm it sucks. Its worthless in mud and I've had to pull him out with my quad.
On the road its a death trap in an accident, incapable of long trips and uncomfortable even on the shortest trips.

>>28695771

you mean the thing literally everyone in this thread has said? What amazing insight, thank you for sharing!

>>28695987
You're right anon, I'm sure people are more likely to haul their fucking 3 dirt bikes than they are some construction or landscaping materials.

>>28696167
It's a work truck, anon. Not a weekend toy hauler. This is like complaining about it's Nurburgring time. Just not what it's for.

6.5 foot bed is standard on sambars/actys/carries/etc you brainless cunt. I don't think there's such a thing as a kei truck with a 4 foot bed unless we're getting into daihatsu midget 1.5 seater ultra small territory.

>>28691004
I accept your concession

>>28696303
how does that work?

>>28690710
A kei truck can carry four Americans.

>>28699270
It only has two seats.

>>28699340
I made a mistake. Maybe only one or two Americans can carry it.

I think the thing about Kei trucks is that they look way more utilitarian, something like a F-150 is just regular traffic, a Ford Explorer with a chassis and a bed, a kei truck looks like a small work vehicle, it gives them a huge novelty factor, you wanna carry stuff around with them

>>28699544
>a kei truck looks like a small work vehicle
I wonder why

>>28699622
>small work vehicle
A kei truck is a small work vehicle.
Because of this, the engine and gear ratios are designed to withstand the load of the load, so it can only go about 60 mph.

>>28699630
the sambar tops out at ~70-75
they can do 50-60 comfortable for hours

>>28699646
It's only the old boxer engine sambar.
For some reason, Subaru only made special cars.
The car's performance was good, but its durability was low, and repair and replacement parts were more expensive than other cars.

>they can do 50-60 comfortable for hours
That's just you being patient.

>>28699630
I've dropped a crew off like that on a work site.
30 or so mph in and out. Mine had a roof though.

>>28699630
This picture is literally what every asian man earns for. This is why people are into kei trucks in the first place, really.
t. grew up in multigenerational family home with 11 children.

>>28691753
I would do this, but the only American truck that gets gas mileage anywhere near a kei truck is the Maverick and you can't put a flatbed on it.

>>28699622
That's exactly my point anon, a kei truck was built to be a tool first and foremost, very utilitarian design, american trucks were never built like that, only exception being military stuff like the M274 Mule

>>28696486
Yes.
Glamia Sand Dunes sees 1.3 MILLION unique visitors a year.
Thats 1 campsite.
In 1 park.
In 1 state.
Add in all the other parks, private property, events.
Hunters on quads.
Jet skis and fishing boats.
Canoes, kayaks and surfboards.
Mountain bikes and snowboards.

>>28699995
You're right, and that's undeniable proof that american trucks are gay and retarded while kei trucks are cool and utilitarian

>>28699995
Ok
Then don't buy a two seater work truck when you should be buying a fucking RV?

>>28699995
1.3 million visitors is barely more than just f150 sales alone lmao
a vast majority of people with trucks aren't hauling dirt bikes places, let alone 3 of them at once. which again, a kei truck could actually do.

I know someone that uses a kei truck to move stuff around on their property
you're being a huge retarded faggot for no apparent reason. you can use these for literally everything you mentioned.

KEI is a Japanese automotive standard designed to reduce taxes, resulting in a highly restrictive and cramped design.
If a Japanese company were to manufacture a small truck in the United States, it wouldn't make the same thing as in Japan; it would likely make something similar to the Suzuki Maruti in India.

>>28700970
the super carry isn't much different from a normal carry. it just has a 1.2l instead of the .6l and is 1 foot longer.

>>28701006
Ten years ago, it was only 0.8L, but now it's available in 1.2L and even 1.5L versions.
Incidentally, while mass-producing larger engines is relatively easy, manufacturing smaller ones with restrictions is incredibly troublesome.
This hassle means higher production costs and raises concerns about strength.
We Japanese put up with KEI cars because taxes are low, but honestly, most people don't actually want to drive them.
Even those of us with smaller builds feel this way on a daily basis.

>>28700903
>you can use these for literally everything you mentioned.
I can strap a stack of 4x8 plywood onto the roof of my camry.
Just because I can get it home doesnt mean it isnt stupid.

And no, it cant do everything I listed.
To get to Glamis from southern california you have to go over Mt. Laguna.
A kei truck will never make it over the grade with a load.
Coming down the grade youd fry the brakes.

Youre a 100% verified basement dweller that has never hacked anything, let alone slept anywhere besides your parents house for even a single night.
Go back to watching your anime, faggot.

Incidentally, Japan's kei car regulations are also subject to various debates.
While it's true that Japanese people have grown larger in stature compared to the past, the primary issue lies with emissions regulations.
Achieving efficient fuel economy and reducing exhaust emissions has become increasingly difficult with small engines.
Ideally, I'd like to see the kei car regulations allow for body sizes about 5 to 10 inches larger, and engines increased from 0.66L to 0.8L.

>>28701031
I don't know enough about your tax laws, why is the jimny allowed to rock a 1.5l? even back in the 80s you had a 1.3, then went down to the turbo 660cc for some reason

>>28701039
so don't buy a kei truck. why is this hard?
>IT DOESN'T WORK FOR MY SPECIFIC NEEDS!!!
so just don't get one
there have already been numerous examples itt where they work just fine

>>28701042
The body is slightly larger, but interior space remains the same.
The engine is crammed in, and the price is significantly higher than other 1.5L vehicles.

>>28701046
Increased exports are good for us because they improve the national economy, but conversely, Japanese people are struggling because used car prices have risen too high.

>>28701042
Compared to other similar Kei cars, the Jimny has an interior length that is one foot shorter.
This is one factor enabling it to accommodate a 1.5L engine.

>>28701039
>I can strap a stack of 4x8 plywood onto the roof of my camry.
>Just because I can get it home doesnt mean it isnt stupid.
That would actually be pretty smart if the roof load limit wasn't so low. If you want to carry stacks of plywood and get good gas mileage, you need something that's designed to carry a load (like a kei truck).

>>28701059
are used car prices even affected at all for anything newer than 25 years and/or undesirable? I imagine its literally only shit like old kei trucks and the halo cars

>>28701070
I was under the impression that the 660cc engine was because of regulations, not physical space to fit it.
like I said, the 3rd gen jimny had the turbo 660cc engine. iirc the 1st gen also had a 500cc 2 stroke
I've never been in any jimny other than the 2nd gen we had stateside, but they don't look like they've changed in size much

>>28701083
Back in the day, you could get a KEI car for $500 or even free, as long as it ran for work purposes.
Nowadays, prices have skyrocketed to $1,000 to over $3,000.

>>28701089
My English seems to be broken, so I'm afraid I may have given you the wrong impression. I'm sorry.
This is also me.>>28701040

>>28701114
>>28701104
your english is fine, I just misunderstood. Thanks for the insight friend

>>28701089
>Addendum
When comparing Suzuki vehicles, the interior length differs by about 1.4 feet.
The Jimny prioritizes off-road capability, sacrificing rear seat comfort and cargo capacity compared to other vehicles.

>>28701126
I'm glad you're such an understanding and kind person.
Thank you.

The free kei truck is used exclusively for farming on private property.
If it breaks down again, it will be dismantled and sent to other Asian countries for parts.

>>28701150
Why cut the roof off though?
Unless it was damaged, then I'd understand

>>28701266
Either it was damaged or they removed it so they could reach up and pick apples without having to get out of the truck.

>>28701266
Because you can drive underneath the branches without breaking them.

>>28701194
They drive a convertible kei truck, of course they're happy you moron

>>28701312
I drive a convertible kei truck*, and can confirm I'm quite happy
except mine is actually designed to come apart like that. it's really cool to me how much of a jimny is just held together with easily accessible bolts.

why is there always such much seethe around kei trucks?
I really don't get it. I just think they're cool. It's that simple. It's the same reason people like shit like the moto compo. No one gives a fuck about it actually being able to fold up and fit into the back of a car, they just think its cool.

>>28701378
Because the threads are from anti-truck shills in disguise.

You will eat the bugs
You will live in the pod
You will drive the kei truck

>>28701751
Besides my acty I have an f150. I just think the little guy is neat.

>>28701815
Its one thing to think theyre cool.
Its another to claim theyre a direct replacement for a real pickup.

Theyre a niche vehicle that do a very small segment adequately, most tasks they do poorly at best, deathly dangerously at worst.

>>28701897
>Its another to claim theyre a direct replacement for a real pickup.
they are depending on the circumstances.
this has been explained to you at least 50 times by now.
Like I said before, japs must think we're so fucking retarded arguing over their work trucks. It would be identical to seething over a grumman llv because panel vans and box trucks exist.

>>28701897
I mean, the acty is pretty darn capable for what it is. They make export models of some kei trucks with bigger engines, and barring crash test ratings, they'd be perfectly useful for probably at least 80% of what people use half-ton and smaller trucks for. The 20% would be people hauling things that exceed the weight capacity, or people with crew cabs that carry more than one additional person.

Kei trucks are very practical for what they are designed for. A small utility vehicle for a Japanese business owner/farmer who navigates Japanese roads in either a city, suburb or rural area.
These aren't made to go on highways but can do so if needed. They are a last mile solution and not a city to city hauler. Japan has normal sized trucks / cargo semis for that. These work well in the narrow streets of japan and their low speed limits in rural areas. Hell even some of their highways are limited to 60km/h in some sections like on the Shuto express. Japanese regularly do 30-40 km/h over the speedlimit because of some meme law where for privacy reasons they cant record you legally if you go under 120km/h. Meaning that speedtraps don't ticket you below 120km/h and only cops can do that.

>>28701907
>direct replacement
>depending on the circumstances
Are you ESL or a high school dropout?

Theyre a poor replacement for EVERYTHING.
>Want one for the ranch? A 4x4 SxS is cheaper, easier to maintain and performs better.
>Want one for small trips to home depot?
Ranger/S10 is cheaper and FAR safer on public roads. Not to mention registration is being revoked in multiple states and theres only a handful of places you can take it on the streets.

Just admit it.
You only think theyre "cool" because theyre "quirky" and you want to be a special snowflake.
Theyre shit.
As I'VE already explained repeatedly itt, I deal with them constantly. Ive had to pull my neighbors out of the mud with my quad. Thats how worthless it is- a fucking toy had to rescue it.
Go back to /a/, you weeb basement dwelling faggot.

>>28702140
>Theyre a poor replacement for EVERYTHING.
wrong
this has been explained 50+ times now.
not spoonfeeding you again

>>28702140
>A 4x4 SxS is cheaper, easier to maintain and performs better.
A kei can carry more weight and has a larger cargo bed than a Polaris Ranger. A kei uses automotive tie rods/suspension/wheels and tires/etc so it's stronger than a stock Polaris Ranger. The polaris ranger does have better parts availability from being sold in this market, and on factory tires the polaris will do better off road than something like my acty sdx. They do make keis with selectable transfer cases and locking diffs, which are more capable off road (especially with better tires).
>Ranger/S10 is cheaper and FAR safer on public roads. Not to mention registration is being revoked in multiple states and theres only a handful of places you can take it
Safer, sure. Cheaper, debatable. The rangers and s10's that are cheaper than what my kei cost are rusty, beat to hell, or both. Registration, you have to know your laws. Where I live, keis are mentioned by name in state statutes as "special interest vehicles", which means it gets collector plates that never expire and I can't drive it in January

>>28702442

they work fine in europe. you faggots have .1l inline 0s on cobblestone streets.

>>28702091
Iirc, I think any road over 60 or 70kmh in Japan has to have a center barrier. So at the higher speeds where the lack of crumple zone is most dangerous, there's no chance of a head-on collision

>>28702442
My Polaris SxS is rated to tow 2,000 pounds.
It weighs 1,500.
Nobody with a kei is dropping.2,000 of feed on their farm.

Ironic that nobody has actually posted pics of their kei in action after 250 replies.

THEY SUCK FUCKING ASS.
AND NOBODY USES THEM.

Prove me wrong.
Someone post their kei.
Nobody will because theyre just a fucking weebs wet dream

your polaris cost 2x what a kei truck does while being a flimsy unreliable piece of shit as all polarises are. should have just got an old f150 or ranger, would have been way more capable.
Or is there perhaps some reason you needed a sxs? like say, the size? something you've been autistically arguing about for like 3 years now?

>>28703000
No it's not.

>>28702940
I'm hoping to find a deal eventually
I've seen a couple for cheap but it's always no title or no engine or some major issue

>>28702809
Mine can tow 3000lbs and weighs 1900ish lbs

do these jdm import sites take tariffs into account on the prices they show?

>As of 2024, Kei trucks were not authorized to travel on interstate highways in any of the 50 states.

>>28690333 (OP)
Yes... if you never have to drive over 50mph

>>28704067
Can it tow 3k or can it move a 3k trailer on flat ground? Different things.

>>28704774
You already know the answer.
3k pounds down a 3% grade and hes dead.

I have one for camping, it isnt very practical but very fun to drive. Also; its more than enough room for general practical applications. The worst thing really is the length of these bastards. anything longer than 1,80m is asking for a roof carrier, kind of defeating the point. However! They can take a real beating in terms of weight. So if your point is carrying very heavy loads from your house to the dump, or from (for example) your farm to another plot of land it is very practical. Good gearing too, allows you to get whatever you want to wherever you want. Slowly

>>28701897
very true, its a very different use-case. But to say its deathly dangerous is just you being a fucking pussy. they dont do more than 100km/h, and have excellent capabality to take on steep inclines, rough terrain and relatively heavy loads, plus, they fit just about every path there is to take. These cars were designed for small business owners and farmers that just want their shit from point a to b without any limits (except speed). It may seem like the cars are about to shit their pants and break down at any time but trust me, they dont!

>>28704684
Arrest me, nigga
>>28704774
It's rated for a 300lb tongue weight, which would be a 3000lb trailer. It would probably be only able to do 45-55, and I wouldn't do it without trailer brakes because >>28704846

>>28705273
>just you being a fucking pussy.
In an accident youre going straight to the morgue.
And you know this.
Meanwhile ill be driving home and hitting up pic-a-part for a new bumper and washing you brain matter out of my grill.

>>28705374
Why should I be afraid of death? Oh no I move on from this plane of existence and don't have to come on here every single day

>>28705374
I think this exemplifies the difference pretty well, kei trucks are masculine, simple, utilitarian, purpose driven, machines made by honest people to do honest work, there is no safety because you're either responsible enough to drive one around safely, or you're dumb enough that you should be another statistic, there's a small engine that barely makes any power because it's only work is to take things from A to B while sipping on gas and not breaking, there's only two seats, a bed, and the bare minimum, no distractions.
Compare that to an american truck, boisterous, loud, feminine, machines made for the lower third of the population, there is all kinds of safety nannies because the people driving will crash them, they have big engines because the people driving these wanna show off to their neighbors, they have a whole list of useless features because the people driving these are easily conned by dealerships, it's all noise, posturing, distractions, the possibility of doing everything while actually doing nothing

>>28705430
So much poorfag third worlder cope.

Thats like saying
>a studio apartment with no running water and a wood burning stove for cooking and heating is "masculine" and a 3,000 sq/ft house with central heat and A/C is "feminine".

Youre completely delusional.
Women crave simplicity and purse dogs.
Thats what a kei truck is.
I guarantee you support LGBT and refugees.
Because youre a soi drinking faggot.

>>28705553
You're a pussy dude, just stop.
You're literally why everything made now is so horrendously shit.

>>28705553
>women crave kei trucks
>that's why they buy huge crossovers and suvs and buy things based purely on safety ratings and how high up they sit

>>28705553
You are no different from a Redditor, no matter how many Punisher skulls and Dude Wipes you have, american trucks were made for the likes of you

>>28691289
I don't see the advantage of one at all.
>small bed
>low weight capacity

>>28705876
none of that is true though

>>28705627
>a honda CR-V is a "huge crossover".

>>28706097
Yes. What was the point of this post?

>>28705968
A Kei truck can't reach and maintain 70 mph when it has stuff in it. Maybe if it's empty.

>>28706349
Kei size trucks are available with larger engines around the world. Maybe you ought to look to LHD Kei trucks for your use.

>>28706349
Have you considered that's not the use case of kei trucks?

>>28706205
>CRV- 4.7m in length
>Camry- 4.9m in length
Fucking retard.

>>28706375

Who asked?
So much of your arguments are just pretending not to understand basic things.

>>28706375
>c5 corvette length: 179 inches
>h1 hummer length: 184 inches
The corvette is basically the same size as an h1 hummer :O

No.

>>28706404
Yes.
Humvees are tiny.

Something I've noticed is that there are no new cabover one tonners in the Australian market at the moment, nothing against the Dmax but I would prefer an elf to be bombing around the city.

Would you like to discuss this further?

In Europe and Asia definatelly

>>28707032
Nigger you're actually too fucking stupid for words.

>>28707194
Oh so "large" only includes one aspect that YOU think is important?

>>28706372
>you don't NEED a pickup truck, a kei truck can do all of what you actually need
>of course kei trucks aren't designed for driving on the highway or carrying anything more than three bags of groceries, are you mad
The duality of man

>>28707512
Large includes every aspect. You're the only retard that is taking a single measurement. Length, width, height, weight

>>28707754
No one ever claimed a single time that kei trucks are good for highway speeds, or that they can do everything a full sized truck can do.
See:
>>28706392

>>28705876
>an extremely simple truck that has nothing but the most basic powertrain, suspension and electronics is less rugged than a heavy truck full of electronics and sensors to go wrong
This is how you know american trucks are feminine, people buy them based on nothing but feelings and impulses

>>28707841
>camry width- 72.4 inches
>cr-v width- 73 inches

You really are a fucking retard.
I doubt you even own a car.
But its now verified that youre an actual faggot.

>size is width, length, weight and height
>no no no, I meant height is the only thing that matters

Fucking retarded ass faggot.

>>28708500
all of them
at the same time
size is a combination of all measurements
you dumb fucking cunt. stop pretending you don't understand this. stop pretending a fucking sedan is bigger than a crossover because it's one of your sister's cunt hairs longer or wider. holy fucking shit

>no v8
kei trucks are utterly cucked and no amount of coping and seething from leftypol troons will change that

>>28702022
>export models of some kei trucks with bigger engines
They're great! Mine has a 500kg capacity too. I've been hauling 2400x1200 sheets of plywood and drywall home in mine lately
