@otebryan actually, he's 100% correct. American laws regarding payload capacity and towing capacity make the little Honda absolutely useless for 99% of the people who would buy the 3/4 ton truck in the video - because it would be illegal to use the way that 3/4 ton truck is used. That's not a 1/2 ton-class F-150 that Joe Blow from Suburbia bought because he likes trucks. The 3/4 and 1 ton trucks are called HEAVY DUTY for a reason. The tongue weight capacity for that 3/4 ton would be nearly as much as the total legal towing capacity for the Honda. The GVWR would be double or triple the Honda. ALSO, more importantly, the EPA made it impossible for American manufacturers to build trucks like the Honda AND it is nearly impossible to import them and then legally register them. You can't register them in Alabama, so I could never own one. Next time you decide to speak up so condescendingly, try to actually know what you're talking about.

You have to realize that the minute they decide to allow those tiny trucks here the cost will triple. By the time they add all the safety equipment, emissions crap, and 200 warning labels the cost is driven higher than the value they currently offer. Back in the 70's I drove a 1969 VW Type II pickup, the thing had a 10ft or so long bed and the cab let you sit upright so you could see all around the thing. It got upwards of 25 mpg if driven normally and it would even tow a small trailer. The sides folded down and the bed doubled as a work area on site. It also had a massive under bed storage area just ahead of the rear axle. The downside was that the cab forward design meant that if you hit something, you, or mainly your legs, were the first to take the hit. It also didn't have AC, so summertime use was pretty miserable, and the air cooled engine meant that winters were no better because they had little to no heat since the engine was at the opposite end and very little heat made it up front. If someone would build a truck like that with good heat and air, that didn't cost more than my house, I'd be all in, but somehow I don't think that's ever going to happen simply because there's just not enough money in it, both for the manufacturers and the government who regulates them.

If the trucks bed is so small a mountain bike don't fit in it or you need a rack you could save money and buy an suv or a car for that matter. Put a rack on that. As far as a trailer. If the trucks cargo area is bigger than the cab, the truck tends to do the trick. If you haul so much stuff, you need a trailer that's a completely different situation. I sir am referring to trucks that can't hold a mountain bike without it hanging out of the truck. Or an eight foot kayak without it pointing to the moon. Keep the shiny side up my friend.

We drive it all over the greater SLC area. It only cost me $17000 and cost 1/10th the price to drive. And its quick and a hoot to drive. Parking it is incredibly easy even in the tightest parking lots. A Ford maverick, Ridgeline, or Kia is perfectly fine for like 90% of truck buyers.

Kei trucks serve a purpose as a very light duty vehicle for specific work purposes. The reason Americans buy full size pickups is that you can do more or less everything with that one vehicle.

@@TheTemplarnight I give the transmission 50,000 miles, it’s a slush-box and I intend to use it. Even if I run through 3 transmissions, I’m still $35,000 less than that F250. Buddy at work bought a new GMC Sierra with their turbo 2.7L, he’s on his second engine with 20,000 miles on the odometer, covered under warranty, but that has been nothing but trouble for him. Point being: they all got issues, it’s just a crap-shoot… I won’t pretend to tell anyone what they can or can’t buy. My issues revolve around not being able to find a true work truck anymore on a lot and having to custom order it and then getting marked-up by a dealer and poor trade-in because I did not get one of the super-pricey ones sitting on their lot everyone wants. You want to buy it to get groceries all day, great I could care less it’s your money (probably more the banks). When you start messing with my pocketbook and businesses bottom line I do take a bit of umbrage because I’m paying the price for someone’s vanity.

Yeah, because running into this guy 1 time at Home Depot will determine how he uses his truck.

Tommy you’re getting it all wrong, you don’t drag the box to the end of the tail gate. Real men using those types of trucks lift the tool box straight up out of the box because they have the muscle from doing all manual labor.

I mean you aren't wrong I do the same stuff too, just lift that suckered right up and away I go. And besides I don't ever put something that small in the bed I'll just keep it in the cab with me or I get one of those tool boxes that go against the cab and can be locked in the beds sides

The point is, he's 6ft tall. I just looked up the avg hieght of men in US is 5'9" tall. If he can barely reach over at 6ft....likely most of the short fellas out there are going to have a tough time reaching in. Never mind as we get older and all the strains, sprains, etc lol especially if you do physical jobs.

Lots of states are cracking down on those Japanese trucks due to safety and emissions. And the prices he’s using are highly subjective.

This truck is an excellent alternative to a side by side, but not a road truck in North America.

Please stop telling people what we can buy, eat, drink, and so on. I need a truck to pull my 15,000 lb toy. In Japan all they need is to pull 500 lb toy. Next thing you’re going to tell me is in Japan they eat healthier and I agree 100% on that but don’t compare trucks.

He is not telling you anything of the sort. If you disagree, please post the exact quote where he told you what you can buy. In fact WE (as in you, me, our fellow countrymen) are the ones telling everyone (through various laws and regulations) that they can’t easily buy this type of truck, especially not new ones.

No. You don't want to take that death trap on our roads that get up to 85mph. Japan and Korea don't have any roads in aware of that get over 65mph. Those places also have narrow alleyways to get down. These are useful in certain use cases.

If ur gonna argue for something over another, at least make it apples to apples. That lil truck couldn't even haul my mom. Spending too much on food??? Just buy a fortune cookie! It's 1/35th the size, and only costs $.25!!! 🤦 Some of us use trucks to actually do work bro

As a former driver of an 84 Nissan pup; I loved that thing! Thirty mpg, five speed, inline four. Great vehicle. I currently drive a f450 super duty. The pup was great for what it was, but a K-truck isn’t towing a 12k lb trailer, much less my 20k$ worth of tools, and my family of five.
