Mini Truck Information

What is a Mini-Truck?
Mini-Trucks, or Japanese “Kei” Mini-Trucks are small utility trucks used in Japan, much like a regular pickup is used right here in the U.S. The pickup models have two seats, windows, doors, heat and some even have air conditioning.

Mini-Trucks are normally powered by a liquid-cooled 3 cylinder motor (gas only) of between 500cc and 660cc (newer models). 2WD and 4WD models are available and can be found with dump beds, lifts, and a host of other useful options such as Turbo and Superchargers.

Mini- trucks do not meet U.S. safety standards for on-road registration.
For Use in the United States - these vehicles are for OFF ROAD USE ONLY!

Mini-trucks are easy to drive, have plenty of power and will keep you warm (or cool) and dry while other ATVs and Four-Wheelers can’t.

Great for the farm, hunting camp, or the lake - Mini-Trucks are a fun way to get the job done. With fuel at all-time highs, these little trucks get 40-50 mpg.

Why Are They So Affordable?
Maintenace schedules (required by law and strict) regulate road-going vehicles in Japan. Due to their regular (and regulated) maintenance, they are usually in great condition but rapid depreciation of vehicle values in Japan causes many vehicle owners to buy new often. This results in a pool of low-mileage Mini-Trucks. These are the same great trucks we offer to you at Martin Mini-Trucks.
