That tells us it is NOT a matter of safety but just protecting auto dealers.

こんにちは!とても面白いビデオでした。ありがとうございます。<br>私はスバルサンバー所有者で、この車で日本で運送業の商売をしております。<br>実のところ私のトラックは2018年製でエンジンも前についているモデルではありますが、基本的な部品の交換だけで350000km今も元気に走っております。<br>アメリカの広大な大地を大きな体をしたアメリカ人が乗るサンバーが増えることを願っております。<br>日本より愛を込めて。ありがとうございました。

I personally don't think kei trucks are being banned because of safety concerns, they're being banned because other light truck/UTV producers are gonna lose profit since kei trucks are more practical in every sense.

The Big 3 automakers in America: "Why buy an affordable, practical, and capable truck from Japan when you can buy one of our 80,000 dollar shitboxes that will have an electrical issue at 20,000 miles and are impossible to repair?"

This truck is the work-horse of Asia. I grew up as a military brat on a mountain called Negishi Japan. This truck kept commerce rolling. Don't let anyone hate on it, I plan on buying the Toyota one once it finally drops.

Fun, cute, practical. Total middle finger to every giant overjuiced tough guy truck on the road. We need more cars like this.

Japan has very tight hilly roads they have a ton of mountains and small farms on hills and mountain sides these trucks were built with that in mind

The one thing I could never understand is why American truck makers never adopted the 'folding side' bed concept the kei trucks use. It's far more practical than the classic enclosed bed of the American pickup.

I never got the safety argument. A model T is NOT safe at any speed above parked, yet it's perfectly legal to register in all 50 states. The big scare of these cars is that it'll take sales from domestic trucks. Which doesn't make sense, but the government is here to help, I guess.

Good to see American people are willing to down size to much more efficiently operating vehicles that can do the job

These are very popular in the Philippines. They are workhorses and very reliable. They can convert them to left-hand drive including the dashboard.

I am involved in facility maintenance at a University. I have been advocating that Kei trucks are perfect transportation for our technicians. Kei vans are cool and practical, too.
