Kei trucks are small Japanese cars with 660cc engines and dimensions of around 10m^3. These trucks have become popular in the US due to Japan’s tax incentives, leading to a brisk export business. The author recently purchased one and faced challenges in getting it road-legal. This guide aims to assist others in navigating the process. Kei trucks have a 6ft bed that can fold flat, 4WD with a locking rear differential, and can carry around 1000lbs while achieving 40 MPG. The author found it to be a more cost-effective and convenient option for hauling compared to rentals. However, there are some downsides such as limited speed and the need for right-hand drive.
