I live in the UK and worked for a Subaru dealer for years before it closed. We used to sell a number of Subaru Sumo micro vans with 4WD and they could be specified with a tipping bed body too. The garage closed in 2005 but I have fond memories from my time working there and the people I met through working there.

Very popular on farms in New Zealand & used as a farm run about. Mostly in NZ, they come with dual rear tires & are auto only. Suzuki produce the same type of truck / atv. They climb hills with no issues & are so reliable. In Japan they are called micro trucks or Kei Trucks. Sold new in NZ with a 5 year factory backed warranty.

@@michaelramsey82 There are various sizes...at least in east Asia and parts of Africa. Probably Europe too. With various options such as 4 wheel drive, dually rear wheels, four doors, etc. The medium sized ones with dually wheels are by far the most common, with the small 2 wheel drive ones used for package delivery inside of dense cities and small 4x wheel drive ones used by farmers (although the dually midsized 2 wheel drive models are probably more common in this market too). I can't recall seeing a 4x4 dually, but they may exist. Most of my experience is in east Asia, but I've seen them in other regions too. If this were facebook, I'd snap some photos on my daily walk. They would be branded Hyundai, Kia, or Daewoo.

I remember seeing those all over town 13-15 years ago when fuel prices were sky high. Ranchers and farmers had been using them for years on their farms and ranches, then started using them in town because of the great mileage. It didn’t take long before mini trucks were sitting in the driveways in town. They were legal on the roads there except for the interstate and some sate highways. I was impressed how well they stood up to Montana ranchers, those boys can split an anvil with a rubber mallet! Great utility vehicles to have!

The vehicle was completely serviced, came with a NC title, and was delivered to my house in southern WV for $250.00.

There were several people a few years back importing 25 year old Hijet, Honda Acty, etc. I liked that they were significantly quieter and more useful that a UTV, with more creature comforts at a quarter the cost. I guess they saturated the market or it became harder/more expensive to import them because nobody local sells them anymore. Even new these are cheaper than a UTV, which is great. When I was shopping UTVs a Can-Am Commander XT with weather package was only $6k cheaper than my Forester XT, which is crazy. Also, all those imported mini-trucks were manual, which is better than the guaranteed to fail CVT belts in SXS and UTVs. I've never seen an automatic. I might have pulled the trigger on one if that was an option back then. I have a good friend who can't drive a manual due to losing a foot to complications from spina bifida. I try to make sure he can use as many of my "toys" as possible instead of always being relegated to passenger.

I drive a 1993 hihet it is a4 speed but they did make 5speeds and automatics. Daihatsu automatics from s83p and 110 series are not cvt the Subaru automatics were cvt and had some problems. They made an even smaller automatic, called the midge two. States have made it harder to register them for on the road I believe this is why the slowdown in importing them. Just check with your local if you intend to put it on road use or stick a farm plate on it. Mine is older, it was a project for me to restore with my son so I went antique route. I have not had a problem finding parts they literally made millions of these. The hardest part is figuring out what to call the parts in a foreign language when you were searching multiple countries, but the Internet has made parts readily available. G and R imposts and eBay/amazon Japan have most common parts even for my 30year old discontinued model and my local Napa stocks the filters. I would not recommend one as a daily driver if you were a brain surgeon but as a secondary or third vehicle for a small business, or to replace a UTv on a farm. They are perfect.

This guy isn’t pointing out the real weaknesses. I’ve got these and utvs. They have overlap in their uses for sure, but these aren’t always an alternative to a utv. Hardly any suspension travel means I can only run 5 mph through pastures I can run my utv 30 mph through. I’d never take a mini truck through brush and tight woods … there’s a reason utvs have plastic everywhere- Plastic doesn’t dent or scratch like metal body panels. A mini truck would be literally totalled in just a normal day’s work for a utv.

Looks neat, but my issue with all of these mini truck imports, is that they are designed for someone of the build and stature of their intended market, where Americans tend to be taller and stockier and so just fitting into them for the average American could be problematic. It would be nice if the cab was a foot deeper with adjustable seats to push them back

Average height of US male: 5’ 9” www.health.com/average-height-for-men-7501601#toc-average-height-for-men-in-the-us Average height of Japanese male: 5’ 7” en.llcig.com/average-height-in-japan-2023/ Weight is probably a bigger difference, but doesn’t mean it’s all in the waistline. Even if several inches bigger in the waist, that’s a circumference measurement.

I was in the market for a Utv and also always wanted a old school Toyota pickup. Killed 2 birds with 1 stone. Love my pickup and bet it’s built tougher than this or any utv.

A 4-seater version would be a solid investment, but with a family of 5 and 3 young boys (2,4,11) I need something with a bit more room like a Mule etc. I had a Can Am Commander Max XT for years, and it was great, but as my family grew it was clear we wouldn't be able to go back to a 2-seater. These are very intriguing for sure. It seems like the Willys Jeeps (I have a CJ2A) but with a slick dump bed and newer tech and ac. Thanks for the video.

Looks like the majority of buyers for this machine, will pay with other people's money 💰but very interesting video. If they were truly inovated, they'd be electric or lpg , natural gas, not very expensive Diesel, my wife's old '84 Civic got 40mpg. Plus, don't see too many Japanese vehicles from the '80's around anymore, so much for Japanese quality standing the test of time. Just my opinion

This is too cool to be true. I have been concerned that I might need to replace my 2003 Polaris Ranger 6x6 but there was nothing with a comparable cargo space at any price. All the new UTVs are just fancy toys with a big price tag. I'll bet the turning radius with this thing is a lot better?

Looks like the 1550 lbs dump might be a bit on the lighter side, when you showed the clip of loading it seemed like it can't haul much, so more of a versatile tool as opposed to a small scale dump truck!

@@GoodWorksTractors my bad I didn't mean to imply that you were being deceiving, but I'm thinking the tractor you loaded out with is most likely rated to lift more than 1550 lbs so one bucket from it would probably be pushing it. And electric over hydraulic dumps in general aren't very forgiving when overloaded. I do apologize tho I realize you weren't trying to say that they are heavy-duty earth moving off road haulers! Just a cool economic alternative to a sxs!
