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.

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

it's actually more useful than a regular fullsized pickup

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

Like 99% of suburban dwellers, a full-size pickup would be ridiculous for me. But this? Aw yeah.

I'd love one. How is it for passenger safety? It looks like the cab is the crumple zone.

You can import them from Japan, I recommend talking to @tikibunnyimports if that's something you'd like more info about.
