@zwol@masto.hackers.town agreed on peak truck. Any suggestions for who to look at for new kei style trucks here in the US?
@unsafelyhotboots @zwol Unfortunately no one makes anything like that for the US, at least nothing that's road legal. You can import them from Japan, I recommend talking to @tikibunnyimports if that's something you'd like more info about.

This is the ideal pickup truck. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
I'd love one. How is it for passenger safety? It looks like the cab is the crumple zone.

@zwol Holy cow, to have that for Costco runs and the occasional helping kids move. Like 99% of suburban dwellers, a full-size pickup would be ridiculous for me. But this? Aw yeah.

@zwol hmm.
I think it needs some silver accents. Or maybe a unicorn airbrush painting. But even without, extremely nice! -

It's called a pickup truck, because you should be able to pick it up!

@energisch_ yeah! probably not the one in the photo though, it looked like it was at least 30 years old under the paint job

@FrazzledWings the one in the photo is at least 30 years old and probably a stick shift (i didn't look at it that closely) but i'm sure they make 'em with automatic transmissions nowadays

@zwol@masto.hackers.town yeah! at least i think it can fold down, hard to tell with the paint but that's a common feature in kei trucks

@zwol @hugo @unsafelyhotboots Well thank you for sharing anyway...I want this https://minitruckdepot.com/product/cargo-cvt-black/
@megabyteghost @hugo @unsafelyhotboots further research indicates they _are_ road legal in many US states but it's kind of a mess, see e.g. https://keitruckconnect.com/us-states-you-can-drive-kei-trucks/

@unsafelyhotboots @zwol Many states now allow them on city streets, but not on freeways. You can find them anywhere you can find other vehicles online; autotrader, bring-a-trailer, etc.
Generally, they have to be over 25 yrs old to be imported. -
