How do I get a light truck - like the kind the Taliban drives. I want it used with no loving spyware computer poo poo in it and a tapedeck. Manual transmission is fine. Single cab with seats that slide forward so I can put my tools behind them. If I get one that's old enough so I don't have to smog check it are there places that can fix it up and maybe even make its parts even slightly modern? I don't know what my options are. Should I get a van instead? I want to carry around tools for work without tweakers stealing all my poo poo.

Couple of my neighbors have been buying kei trucks, which are a whole thing to import into the US, to show how much there's a desire for small trucks. There's so many 90s toyota tacomas and rangers that people are lovingly keeping in shape as well.

There's a desire but truck makers don't make as big of a profit off of them which is why theyll never come back.

CAFE made small trucks and big sedans illegal.

Vehicles are allowed to be less efficient when their "footprint" or area surrounded by wheels is larger. Trucks are also allowed to be less efficient than sedans.

Smaller trucks are still bad on gas because they're tall and not aero, but aren't allowed to be bad on gas because they're not huge.

If there was really that much demand for smaller trucks, car companies could simply sell them at similar prices to bigger trucks and make even more profit though.

Probably the reason that's not happening is that once the prices are high enough, most people who would be buying smaller trucks for real work will be happy switching to vans.

Hashtag Girlboss's friends truck for example is probably less than 5 feet tall, only a few inches taller than a Corolla from the same era and with virtually the same front end shape. Presuming 2wd. Pretty popular in the states to easily significantly lower them too. It also weighs half what those landcruisers do.

I'm looking for a kei トラック (truck). It can't be pinku (thats japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be exactly 2 seki (thats japanese for 2 seats) and has be be chibi(small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about $10-20k. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching bed cover (WITH tow hitch). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of steel, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a truck similar to the one im describing in e-bay motors, but it was 4 seki (XLT Crew Cab) with a small kotoba (bed), and i dont want my ni x shi (2x4s) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus a small cab looks more kawaii).
