Micro Kei Truck ~ Buying a Honda Acty

Micro-Truck ~ Buying a Tiny Truck, Honda Acty ACTY micro-truck. Farm Girl and Exoman purchased a Honda ACTY HA3. It's a 1995 micro-truck. This 5-speed manual, right-side driver has only 50K miles and is great for trips to the beach, store, and local errands. It would also be a great work vehicle for a farm or local delivery business.
This is considered a kei car which is the Japanese classification for small, four-wheeled automobiles.
Kei car is the smallest category of Japanese, expressway-legal motor vehicles. 'Kei' is diminutive for kei-jidōsha, (kanji: 軽自動車), or "light automobile" (pronounced [keːdʑidoːɕa]). With restricted dimensions and engine specifications, owners benefit firstly from lower taxes and insurance rates. In most rural areas, importantly, they were also exempted from the general Japanese shako shōmeisho (車庫証明書) parking-space ownership requirement to legally buy a motor vehicle at all, as street parking is generally restricted in Japan. Japan's carmakers also make microvans and kei trucks within this legal category.

日本の自動車整備士ですかつては毎日のようにこのモデルのアクティを整備しましたが、最近は見かけなくなりました遠い異国で元気に走ってる姿を見ると嬉しくて懐かしくて、涙が出ます😂

僕はH6年の4速MT Carry 4WDダンプを乗っています。4WDは長野県の冬の道でありがたいもので、2WDにしますとドリフトができ。再来年、車検の時に5速のターボ車に改造します。もちろん軽トラとして使っています、肥料や石、娘のチャリンコを運んでいます。

HONDA Acty has been used mainly as a transportation vehicle for Japanese farmers. Japanese people recognize it as a “work vehicle,” so I have never seen the Acty with such magnificent aluminum wheels before.

That is so exciting, congratulation. I just got my Honda Acty 1997 February 14, 2024. and my wife thinks I am crazy...Ha! Ha! I maybe. Thanks for all the videos and your travels.

Japanese minicars are amazing. They are fuel-efficient and can run on rough roads because they are 4WD. And even if you get stuck, you can get out with three adults. LoL It's small, but it can carry a lot more than you'd think.

The Kei Truck is very popular in the US, but it doesn't have a crush zone, so be careful not to get into an accident.🥰 cheers.

I live in Japan and have one. You've gotta drive these things like you are riding a motorcycle. And if you have a head-on on bike you might get thrown off somewhere but in a 軽トラ you are as good as a can or sardines. I've had mine for 9 years now and I'm hooked, you can even drift in the f****ng thing. 4 wheel drive is a real plus where I live here in Nagano.

That thing is perfectly fits places like mountainous area doing farm. Usually mountain roads are very narrow and steep also muddy rough terrain. Most o KEI trucks have lower gear biased setting to climb up and down hills, if you have 4WD truck that’s even better. In Japan, farmers and all types of mechanics tend to use these, also a hunter. Coz they carry harvests same as farmers, i think that usage is more fitting to USA people.

I'm so fascinated by how amazed you guys are of those little trucks there in the US! It's pretty common here in my country, the Philippines. And the best thing is, they're left-hand drive! Yeah, we drive on the right side of the road too. I wish Americans would get those tiny trucks here. We have a lot varieties of every brands here.

I had the opportunity to drive and work on a Mitsubishi mighty mite truck. It looked identical to the Honda's version. Mine was left hand drive 3 speed locked out at 20 mph not road worthy. It had seat belts and turn signals. The payload could handle 1700 lbs. 3 cylinder gas engine 8 gallon fuel tank. Bed folded down like yours. Have fun driving and using it.

@bradaltemeyer4472 8 ай бұрын

looks like a good vehicle, most classic pickup trucks ride better with some load in the bed, just helps out/ and if it's snow and ice season sometimes a couple bags of sand is good to have around anyway.

@ntsuka4568 4 ай бұрын

The legal speed limit on general roads in Japan is 40km/h or 50km/h. Light cars are designed to Japan's own standards without the intention of exporting them, so if you don't drive at a reasonable speed, the ride will be unstable. I recently switched to a light car.
