    If those light kei trucks were outlawed here

    weren't?


    Additional context on why foreign small trucks are not present in the American market: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax (25% tariff on foreign light trucks)

      25% extra on a light truck would still be cheaper than the current monstrosities

      must also involve certification like how they have to destroy X of the vehicles in crash testing or something

          I think as long as it's more than 25 years old you can import them
