Spotted this mini truck in the library parkade downtown. Look at how little space it takes up.

Asia Towner Coach, 1992. A badge engineered version of the Daihatsu Hijet that was made by Asia Motors, a subsidiary of Kia. The cab-over design meant the engine was positioned under the front seats (see photograph). Asia Motors was defunct by 1999 when it fully merged with Kia.

Truthfully, I'd rather have the Hijet.

Daihatsu Hijet

[severalowls]

When I was about 10 my class did a booklet about like, our dream life. Basically "what do you want to be when you grow up" type deal. One of the fields was "your dream car", most people put down cool sports cars or trendy stuff like the New Beetle. I put down this:

"A little bit rusty and with some dents in the side" were specific qualifiers. I was a pragmatic child.

Except I'm almost 30 and I still do not own a decaying volvo estate. So maybe I was being unrealistic.

I learned about Kei Trucks today.

They can be found for sale in the us if they're over 25 years old (bc us laws)

They are so cute.

Honestly would be a great affordable way to have a truck.

Articles even say they're less carbon footprint.

The ones I see listed online don't have a lot of mileage on them- we're talking less than 40k here.

Some of these 90's ✨gems✨ and earlier don't come with AC or radio. Lmao.

Aka. they're literally meant to be farm/work trucks.

They seat like two people unless you can get hands on a van version. The better option imo.

They're imported so older models may have the driver's side on the right.

The manuals have more typical 4-5 gears (that automatics only have 3!).

The Honda Acty is the only one that is not 4wd... typical lol

Rear-wheel drive and 4wd options are Subaru sambar, Daihatsu hijet (later rebadged as a Toyota), Mazda scrum, and Suzuki carry.

They can need a lot of maintenance (because of age to rubber parts) and new parts take time or cost to arrive.

Lots of caution driving them on modern roads.

Looks like they require premium gas, which is the norm in the countries they're imported from.

The Kei trucks you can buy legally in the US.

Care tips

But y'know. They're cute and I want one.
