Saw this little truck in New Philadelphia, OH this evening when we stopped for gas on the way home. It immediately made me think of @smellsofbikes and @MLE_online
Such a cool vehicle.

Same here, but in Colorado.
As I understand it, they're not legal on CO roads with speed limits > 50mph. That'd constrain me to the 1 square mile city limits, as the only road in/out of town has a 65mph speed limit. So, no dump runs, etc.

@lolcat @MLE_online @chrishuck Yeah, they're apparently considered neighborhood vehicles. No freeways.
Although I've seen multiple Daihatsu Hijets on US36 between Denver and Boulder. Maybe the US versions of those meet other criteria?

Interesting - didn't know there were US-specific versions of Kei trucks.
TBH, I don't want to drive > 50mph in a Kei truck. But, considering how much farm equipment we have on the roads out here - poking along at <= 30mph, it feels a bit unfair to single out the little trucks this way.
Not bashing the tractors - just to be clear.

@lolcat @smellsofbikes @chrishuck there aren't US versions. They just import some of the Japanese ones as a gray market thing
