THIS!! So damn truee

In india you buy this you will be considered illiterate and extremely poor

Meh, car manufacturers here don't even sell trucks this small. These are cool on another level. I don't want big ass truck, especially when it's a bitch to drive, guzzles gas, and pretty much the danger to others on the road.

honestly seems like it. said the same thing myself and i love motorcycles. both should be legal. what would you want to illegalize next? atv's? when will that stop? you can turn a snowmobile into a pretty effective vehicle on other surfaces. you can illegalize modded vehicles too i guess but that Ferrari doing a whopping 200 miles an hour? na, gotta save that for a doctor. where would we be without pill farms after all.

The only thing dangerous about them are the smaller ones or smaller engines that can not get up to freeway speeds. Remember going too slow. Is just as dangerous as going too fast.

The government doesn't want cheap vehicles. If it wasn't for the government, you would have a million of these with 'GMC' stamped on the front.

These cars are a problem because they are not crash tested and do not meet legal standards for real vehicles. And because they are Asian imports... American car lobbyists in the government want you to buy a 3 ton American truck instead.

add roll cake for safety and solid semi bumper

You can buy s10s and Ford rangers which are better and cheaper lmao kei trucks are garbage only rich teens want them to lift them and make them pavement princesses

@@NateNidiffer im not americsn, i see kei trucks in isreal decently often. They work perfectly and are better then american semi trucks

​@agentoy6065 i mean, probably better than some american pick-up, but a semi truck 2 different type of category

I thought most didn't have A/C unless special ordered by OG owner, I would love a 4wd with A/C.

Imagine longbed campervan. To me i hope they bring the hilux champ over via a revolt or something because thats exactly what woukd be good for me to use to harvest my jolepenos at 3am because im in a desert. Ac and heat is nice though. Its a death machine but i mean i rode around on motorcycles and those are too and theres worse

​@@TheAnnoyingBosssooo true. Especially in deserts these cars would be good. Besides: who said you cant install a roll cage or exchange doors with more durable Material?

Considering you’d have to import it, no it’s not cheaper than a Honda for 5k

You can afford it now, but I'm quite sure in a while you won't be able to. Though blow the price up, because people want them.😢

Let's be real, cars and trucks have different safety standard requirements than motorcycles. When have you ever seen or heard of motorcycles having to pass any type of crash requirements? So, maybe the truck legislation is BS, but saying any vehicle that meets the safety requirements for motorcycles should be allowed on public roads and highways is illogical. Should people be able to ride 4 wheelers and snowmobiles on roads? They aren't much different than motorcycles...

Motorcycles don’t have a bed that can be loaded full of cargo. These trucks have a bed like most pickup trucks but wheels like a Ford Fiesta. Oh the blowouts and resulting crashes were gonna see in the future.

@@mattrader3647 lmao blowouts my ass we ride these things in rough rural mountain terrain LOADED no problemo, maybe you'd have less blowouts if your grocery carrier ford wasn't 10 tons of unreliable junk

@@Aka.Aka. I don’t doubt you overload these junk boxes. I don’t doubt that at all. tough rural mountain terrain? Exactly my point. Tires blowout from heat. Creeping along in dirt doesn’t create much heat. Rolling down a hot asphalt highway at 70mph, makes a ton of heat. Under inflated slightly and multiply that heat significantly. But don’t take my word fit it, get out in the interstate loaded up and get up to minimum speed.

Realistically motorcycles pose little risk to others on the road. If you’re in a car and hit a motorcycle more often than not the biker is the one that’s getting killed or seriously injured. Also motorcycles don’t have the capacity to carry the amount of cargo these trucks or even a small car can carry. A subcompact full of people or cargo is still several tons. Unskilled people drive cars all their lives. Unskilled bikers don’t last long. That explains the difference in safety standards. Any dumbazz can pilot an overloaded death trap down the highway, so they wanna make sure they’re as idiot proof as they can be. Who could blame an American auto maker for not wanting these on the road. They’ve been restricted and mandated for nearly sixty years with what they can, can’t and must do when designing a new car and then these trucks which likely wouldn’t be legal by 1970 vehicle standards are gonna roll right in and be competition? That’s a kin to a baseball team in the World Series getting to hit off a tee and only needing 2 outs when in the field while the competition has to play by normal rules. If these are gonna be legal then American auto makers should be given the opportunity to make something just as shabby and it be legal too.

Except doctors and women... But yeah... mini trucks, super important...

​@@HalcyonVoidif it helps with urbanization im TEXAS yeah cool rock on kei trucks

Damn the hilux champs without ac will suck in the day but i live in a very similar and arguably worse enviorment than texas and i want to grow peppers for texas but the problem is its too expensive and im a heat stroke prone whitey that burns so i mean you can drive one of these around at night when no ones really around and haul the jolepenos off the feild you feel me. The side folding bed if it was a little deeper wouldnt hurt hold more jolepenos. The dump bed. We should esspecially get the diesel hilux champ. Cut a deal with japan a deal they cant refuse and then ford will have to build something that competes. The champ is cool to me because its more of an actual truck these keitrucks look like a euro semi 😂 which is cool. I like motorcycles theres always a saftey risk to things you gotta be careful. But the champ as least as some buffer zone in the front 😂 some kinda air gab at all whuch doesnt even exist on a motorvycle technically. We can uo the saftey by adding a driver ajd passenger airbag and that alone puts it way above a motorcycle in saftey and i mean the indian scout is pretty cool its had a lot of r&d cycles over the years it doesnt even have an airbag and those are pretty dope ngl

the thing is the only reason they aren't allowed on public roads is because they dont meet safety standards for their class of vehicle. I don't believe that modern safety standards are actually a good thing but its a classic case of people getting exactly what they asked for when voting in and making a public outcry on something like safety then not understandingthe direct costs. all automotive safety and emissions requirements need a massive overhaul

Pavement Princesses.

@@TheAnnoyingBossThe champ won’t ever come here because our our idiotic safety policies. And if it ever did, it would no longer be the truck it is now. Personally, I don’t need (or want) power windows, ac or 35 airbags. I want a five speed, and a rubber floor.

@@JimsEquipmentShed we're bringing the champ brother in the name of freedom because i need that non epa corrupted diesel one for ybe jolepeno farm i want to start. Its not aboht safety because i ride motorcycles. Its actually about power and control over what we can buy. Which is why we are gonna cut a deal with the japanese thus forcing ford to compete. No way im ever going to make an affordable hot sauce if im paying 60k for an f150

Well, companies helped make the regulations too.

Yea I wish we could get another small truck age like in the 90s. Now, the "small" trucks are the same size of a full size one and costs the same. Like look at the ford ranger for example, the 90s version was a single cab and was an actual small truck, now the modern version has a full size cab and is basically the size of a full size truck now.

They want to ban them in the name of saftey but if you sacrifice freedom for saftey you deserve neither according to benjamin franklin one of the few founding architects of our great country since corrupted. These little trucks are exactly the type of thing i would need to farm jolepenos and japan initially made them for farmers. I hope they keep making them and we ban the import law because our country cant compete in every sector or if ford can why dont they. Im trying to get land for jolepenos and something like this is great. I hope they put sbr1000rr engine in them. I ride motorcycles i have the endorsement im well aware of how dangerous it is. Although if the hilix champ from phillipines came over id buy that because what i could do is harvest my crop at night time when traffic is low low and its cool out becsuse i livr in a desert where you farm holepeno im prone to heat stroke so a car withoht ac or airbags filled with jolepenos trying to serve my country i think harvesting at nighttime is smart. Things like thus cost less than an f150 are way less safe but you have to think aboht if i live in a county in small towns and one big city of 50,000 on the other side of the county 12 miles away from me and farther from a farm in the middle of nowhere. My county legalized side by sides for on road use because offroading is pretty big and people were getting mad about the tickets the said if yoy dont lime it change it so be careful what you wish for because they did. Yes theyre dangeorus little cars but if you have to just grab a tv frol best buy and you got a civic and dont want to rent a truck borrow a truck one of these can be useful because you can also use it like i will to haul jolepenos off the feild into the processing building while spending as little as humanly possible so the emd prodict is more affordable and easier to export to more places thats what I say. We cant buy the cars 25 years old we have to get the keitrucks new. My small towns middls shcool got a keitruck for their faculty to tend to the football and baseball feilds etc, the basketball courts and being able to drive it down the road and having a good reliable one that isnt as old as me would be better. And im only 25 but thats old for a car these days .

@@thefancydoge8668 that’s because of crumple zones. In a kei truck, you are the crumple zone. Just wait for the tearful interviews during the first class action lawsuits, “oh boo hoo, I didn’t know my legs would be severed in a low speed crash, no one told meee.”

You can easily still find trucks way less then 40k and still do lots of work yourself. People just to lazy

and for doing little metal scrap hunting runs as a side hustle/hobby on trash days

Aside from utlity, purposes and daily driving, mini trucks takes less space, you can probably fit one in your house, if America doesn't want them around, why not make their own?

@@calestial2457 america wants mini trucks. the auto and oil industry just push for bigger shit in an arms race to line their pockets

They can actually fit in an average garage and the bed has more space than the average modern pickup truck. Carrying capacity may be a concern but as long as you're not filling the bed with big boulders I think it can handle a couple thousand pounds.

@@cyclicmusings2661 and the turning radius too, i find mini trucks helpful in farms where you need to pickup seeds and hay, or even farm animals

Benjamin franklin said if we sacrifice freedom for saftey we deserve neither and that guy helped literally architect our country hes on the 100 dollar bill

@@TheAnnoyingBoss I don't think this is how Franklin meant that. He wasn't advocating for a total lack of road safety regulations. That being said, I don't see Kei trucks being more dangerous than those oversized monster trucks that everybody drives around. You're dead either way if you're hit. If safety was paramount, all cars would be small sedans.

@@c0rnichon Exactly. Plus the safety argument here doesn't even make sense. Yes, you are more likely to survive a horrible crash if you are in a big SUV. But said big SUV is at the same time more likely to ruin anyones day if it hits THEM. Hence from a perspective of personal freedom you are at most endangering yourself. Something especially Texans give zero F's about. As far as freedom loving Texans are concerned laws that protect the public can be justified, but laws that aim to protect you from yourself are a big nono.

You can’t haul a trailer on one of those or do much actual work in those either. Engine is too small. They look fun yes but to do actual work I wouldn’t argue that point.

We need to bring back the small truck age from the 90s, like I would rather have a dodge dakota than a full size gas hog, the small trucks then could also pull trailers so using one to do something like lawn care is more desirable when you don't even need a full size truck.

TX is best state in the union, this is just another reason to prove it

Except they banned them first. Then reversed course when they realized it would cost them enough votes to hurt their reelction

Yeah the only reason they would reverse course so quickly is because none of the pro ban cared/lobbied/paid enough.

Ok just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean other people won’t. But your aucktistict and can’t understand nothing

They banned them initially. Only reversed course when they realized it could cost them enough votes to effect their reelection. So they followed all other states who have banned them already, then reversed course to stay in power. Don't see how that's different than anywhere else in the usa

most people with any sense think these laws are stupid texas just acted first on this it doesn't make yall special. that being said the rest of the states should follow suit on this one.
