Buying a Kei Truck
Q: What is a Kei truck?
A: A Kei truck is a small, lightweight utility vehicle from Japan, designed under Japan’s Kei-class regulations. They’re about the size of a side-by-side UTV but have full automotive drivetrains, enclosed cabs, and road-legal equipment.
Q: Are Kei trucks street legal in Alabama?
A: Yes — under the U.S. 25-year import rule, any Kei truck 25 years or older can be titled and registered in Alabama.
Q: What’s the 25-year rule?
A: U.S. federal law allows vehicles 25 years or older to be imported without meeting modern EPA emissions or DOT safety standards. We make sure every truck we sell meets this requirement.
Q: How much do Kei trucks cost?
A: Our ready-to-drive trucks typically range from $8,500 to $13,000, depending on condition, mileage, and any upgrades.
Ownership & Maintenance
Q: What kind of fuel economy can I expect?
A: Most Kei trucks get 35–45 MPG depending on engine type and load.
Q: Are parts easy to find?
A: Yes — we stock common wear parts (filters, belts, spark plugs) in-house, and we have relationships with suppliers for harder-to-find components.
Q: Can I service a Kei truck myself?
A: Absolutely. Kei trucks are simple to work on with basic hand tools, and most service points are easy to reach.

A: Most Kei trucks can carry 700–800 lbs in the bed.
