Does anyone have a Japanese Mini Truck?

Question

I am interested in buying one and am wondering what pros and con they may have. I want to compare them to Rino or other 4wheelers.

They have a cab and heater which would make it nice for the weather. Also I wonder how well they would do if I attached a blade for snow removal from yard and driveway?

Answer 1

Are you talking about the 660CC kei trucks? Like this:

If you're taller than 6', stay away, most uncomfortable ride I've ever had.

Don't let the 660CC engine fool you, they are quite capable in the snow (with good snow tires). I plowed my driveway with a kei car, so I'm sure you could attach a blade to the truck without problems. Contrary to what most people believe, you don't need that much power in snow, just traction, so these little trucks will get the job done.
