Sambar for me. The engine access, quieter ride, interior space, and a 4 cylinder engine, make it more worth it for me.

I like my 1995 Honda acty. One big reason is being able to work on my center truck bed engine location vs. A KEI truck with a engine under the passenger seat! Plenty of room like when I needed to replace the broken alternator belt. Fold down the sides gives you that lay down room you need to replace plugs etc.

I found a dealer in Mount Airey NC, Mayberry Mini Trucks. They have every make and model available. I had given them a call to see if they had anything with A/C. It just so happened they had just brought in a 96 Subaru Sambar Super Deluxe with the high cab. I had driven the Suzuki and didn't really like the Honda. The Highjet was okay. However, the Subaru with the rear mounted engine is the real winner by my observation. The engine is super easy to work on. The extra height of the cab is a plus and there is a package tray attached to the roof inside the cab. The engine being rear mounted helps stabilize the ride. With the extra weight in the back and the cab weight gives the truck a very nice balance. It's very much highway compatible and will maintain a steady 55 to 60 MPH speed on an interstate, however I would not take more than 10 to 20 miles on the major highways due to buffeting by large vehicles. I drive local roads mostly anyway, so the rig works well. Shifting into 4x4 is easy with the push of the button on the shift knob. Engine access from the bed is super. The battery box is accessible and headlight replacement is a breeze. I have been driving my Sambar nearly every day now for about 9 months. My needs were for something to drive around my small farm, haul hay, dirt, tools, fix fence and just get around. I considered several ATV's. The higher level ones were priced out of my budget. After running across these mini truck, I found that you could get a/c, 4x4, a nice sized bed, an 8 gallon gas tank and an enclosed cab with heat. It seats 2 quite comfortably. This little truck won out over any ATV, and in NC, it is street legal with no modifications. I'd buy another Sambar if I was looking.

I drove a 92 Suzuki Carry as a work truck for three years. It was absolutely miserable in the summertime. The engine under the driver's seat turned it into an oven. The heat was just enough to take the edge off in the winter though. I could get out of the cold and not get too hot with my coat and stuff on. It was loud, too. If you are going to have this truck in 100°+ weather, get one with the engine in the back. Better yet, get one with A/C.

Minicab is probably my favourite, especially the late model ones. They drive very nice and I fit really well in them at 6'0". They also seem to be considerably cheaper than the more popular trucks too, especially if you get a 2WD 4 speed, you can nab them for a few hundred bucks at auction. Knee room is the biggest hurdle with me so certain trucks I can't drive cause my left knee is right against the dash because the HVAC controls stick out further than the rest of the dash. The newer DA63T Suzuki Carrys are one example of that issue.

Hey, I’m a bit new to the Kei truck scene, and so far I’m loving your videos about them. But for future reference, I would love to know which Kei truck (or even Kei van) you recommend for taller people. I’m 6’5, and I know it would be hard to find a good pick for tall people, but i would still love to have your input! (Would I just have to look for jumbo editions like the Daihatsu in the vid?) Thank you so much and keep up the great work! (anyone in the comments can also answer this question btw)
@user-cc7mn4ug9p
@user-cc7mn4ug9p 9 ай бұрын
6'5 is very tall for these kind of kei trucks, so even Hijet Jumbo or Super Carry, the extended cab one(latter one might not be old enough to bring to the US), might not give enough space for you. If you don't need truck bed but want something micro and utilitarian kei vehicle, then kei vans would be the way to go. Btw, as a Japanese, seeing people overseas find kei cars are Interesting somewhat make me proud.

Subaru Sambar has a (High Cab) version. They are a bit on the rare side. Some have A/C as well. I've been driving my Sambar for about 10 months now. The Sambar is a great mini all the way around. I cannot stop anyplace in town without people commenting or asking about it. Mini's are out-of-the-ordinary! And, for just running to the feed store, picking up carry out, driving around the fence lines and checking/repairing, it works well. There are versions with automatic transmissions. I've read that they can be problematic though. Overall, mini's are a fabulous addition to your transportation and utility needs. Parts are fairly easily available, however some are a bit pricy. Ultimately, everything is shipped in from the manufacturer. I bought my mini from Mayberry Mini Trucks in Mount Airy NC. Yes, that Mount Airy! They have an inventory of over 250 minis sitting there just waiting for a new owner. They do delivery to everyplace east of the Mississippi. The owners are great people to work with. Good luck finding a mini that meets your needs. I'm sure there is one just sitting there waiting for you to take it home to the family!

@@adrianjay1972 - All options are available but the most likely Hijet versions to find at auction are 2WD, 4WD, 4WD with hi-low transfer case, and 4WD hi-lo with rear locking differential. The latter was sold as the Climber version. I have 4WD with hi-lo. I seldom use low range. First gear in high range is very capable. First gear low range is crawler mode. I can get out and walk next to the Hijet and it'll crawl anywhere while idling. I wanted the locking diff and A/C but I got a good deal and I'm very happy with what I have. I wouldn't want 2WD. There is no weight in the rear and it doesn't have much traction. It's only good for dry pavement. I'll pop it into 4WD for a couple of seconds if parked nose down in a gravel parking spot.

It would be between the Honda Acty and the Subaru Sambar supercharged. The Honda for it's full time AWD, I live in Canada and we get lot's of snow. AWD works best in icy conditions. The Sambar for the room inside and access to the engine. Also you can have a supercharged 4cyl, probably have better torque than the NA engine.

The Sambar Supercharged is quite rare. And, the increase in HP is not all that impressive for the price addition over NA. We have not had snow in the Piedmont in NC this year as yet so I can's comment on how the 4x4 aspect performs in that sort of weather. However, in wet muddy fields and hilly terrain, my Sambar performed admirably. And, the enclosed cab with heat (and) A/C makes it a winner against any ATV out there. @@thepab3072

If was going to buy a kei truck the Subaru Sambar would be #1 on my list followed by the Honda Acty. Of course a good used UTV is also an option, might be cheaper to since I don't plan to license it for the street, strickly a farm truck.

For any car, specially for kei trucks with front-mid engine under the seat/in the cabin you'll usually get used to it tbh, your ears might tune out the louder sound compared to other kei trucks with rear or mid engine out of the cabin area. And like the video said, getting sweaty and hot in a kei truck with engine under the seat is a myth, you won't even feel them vibrating much if you do your maintenance regularly. Harder to work the engine for maintenances yes but has better weight balance when fully loaded (if you're using it for work) so you don't feel as skittish driving under high cargo load.

But, YOU'RE SITTING ON THE ENGINE. For 6500, you can get a Honda City, with A/C and the 5 speed. Like the Subaru with the supercharger, larger cab, and the 4 cylinder rear engine. If I were building a custom, it's the Suzuki with those adorable round lights. The extra cab does nothing for me, because at 5'7" I don't need it, Sorry; I just don't trust Mitsibishi products. That's just my .02$. Subaru, if money no objec t, otherwise I'd be looking for the deluxe model Honda.

@@Waybeforethefame But would the Accty be a good choice for spending most of its time off-road doing ranch/farm type work? Also, I live in the desert SW, so having a good/better engine cooling system is a concern (don't need AC). And lastly, which is the better brand for finding & getting repair parts for, in the US? Or in other words, keeping it running. It's going to be a working truck. Can't have it broken & waiting on parts more than it's working. (no not a daily work truck, most weekends on my property) Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
