    Those little Japanese minis are pretty cool. In addition to street legal, they would be really handy on a multi hundred acre property.

    Another item at the top of the list when I win the lottery. I guess I should start playing.

    On my commute I have seen a Suzuki running around. Definitely a cool little truck.

    I'd resemble the monkey and the football trying to get in one.

    You could get a truck, to haul your truck.

    If you look at my signature line, you. An see the 4M40 crossed out on the Mitsubishi I used to own. Good little engines in those things. Only wish I could have brought it home with me.

    Those mitsubishi fuso trucks are solid! We have 4 (1 20 flat bed and 3 dump bed) and they just run and run. They never seem to break.

    I've seen the Toyotas but I'd never pay 17k for one.
    26 years old? 17k?! No turbo?!?!?

    I have a U1300L and its an amazing vehicle. It's a simple machine, its just that everything is twice as big as you would expect. For example, the starter motor is 88 pounds.
    Oh, by the way, my max speed is about 45 mph...

    Big and slow, looks like I have a lot in common with it. Someday maybe I'll be fortunate to get one.

    Compare these mini-trucks to a UTV and then realize that you are getting a whole lot more for the $$. They have just about everything they need to become street legal, but are sold as off road vehicles.

    Yeah, look around a bit more and find a better more recent model. 1600 lbs payload isn't much for hauling...but a whole lot more than a UTV's payload!
