I am Japanese and have never had the chance to drive on farm roads, but when I borrowed my cousin's micro truck and drove it, it was an incredibly refreshing and fun experience. Everything is practical and you can understand the meaning of minimalist design.

Hope you & Jen are well & staying safe. Recovered from a mild two week bout of Covid & feeling much better. Wish you all the best with your micro-truck. Seem to be pretty handy/useful vehicles as I've seen a few in my local area, also. You are like me, Exoman, as you take a thorough look/see before you purchase something. Take care.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
KEI carscand trucks are very cool. I've got a 1993 Daihatsu Mira Walk-Through and also a 1993 Daihatsu Mira TR-XX Avanzato which has turbo and efi. Love em both. If you catch the bug, you get another one. Good luck‼️

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.

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.

This thing will make certain tasks some easier I think. But I don't think I could drive it far. I'm 5'10", not quite as tall as Exoman, but I have arthritis in moth knees so sitting behind the wheel for long would KILL ME!!! LOL!!
i want one so bad as my first car but i have curse ur jsut bad luck when it comes to manual transmissions idk why but every time i try to drive one i can never drive it with out grinding the gears and killing it xDD
Is it 4 wheel drive? I assume not, I'm sure you would have mentioned it if it were. I've been toying with the idea of getting a 4wd one. I hadn't considered the leg room aspect though. I'm 6'1" also and have long legs, I've ruled out regular sized vehicles in the past because my knees were nearly touching the dash.
