My wife is interested in getting a kei truck for her landscape design business. She deals mainly with gentrified yoga mums so there's a branding thing there, obviously, and she's sick of trying to park a full-size truck in those neighbourhoods and get stuff in and out of the bed (she's 5-foot-2). There's a local guy who brings in a lot of Hijets and Suzuki Carrys and random Mitsu trucks so finding one isn't a problem. However, I would get stuck maintaining the thing. I already have Anybody got long-term experience and/or wrench time with kei trucks?

What I really want for this is a 1st gen Ranger, but we live in Ontario and so every vehicle with any utilitarian appeal whatsoever has a lifespan of about nine years before crumbling into brown flakes.

1st Edition ADandD posted:My main concern is time/expense in sourcing parts. It'll be a giant hassle for her if the truck is out for FTFY. Sorry, but any parts you will need for that thing will be coming from Japan. The only kei anything in the US will be 25+years old due to the import restriction, and the only people who will have them will be If this is going to be a problem, I'd either buy a second one as a parts car (seriously) or scrap the idea. If you want a Ranger, why not take a weekend and fly down south to grab a nice clean rust-free example and drive it back up?
