Has this ever been refuted?
>>29118887Nope.
>>29118887Not sure what exactly are you trying to refute, but I like the kei cars.
>>29118887Good luck taking it on a highway
>>29118898What's wrong with that? Are trucks not allowed on american highways? In Europe, trucks can only drive 90 km an hour on highways
>>29118902It's not like you can't legally take them on highways but they're just underperforming compared to F150 or even Transit
>>29118887T H R E E H U N D R E DREEHUNDRED(350) THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY KG PAYLOAD CAPACITY that's less than a honda civic
>>29118933It also weighs less than a honda civic in the first place. Like 1,600 lbs with a full tank of gas.
The F150 can carry the sambar on its bed.Can the sambar do the same for the Ford?Also we got the superior versions of those gay kei trucks in Finland, we had 1 and 1.2 litre engines in them instead of a 600cc 2 pot.There were also EV variants mostly for postal use
>>29118963>The F150 can carry the sambar on its bed.They don't want you to know this. The real optimal setup is hauling your kei truck to the job site, using the full size to bring materials in and the kei to move them around. Truck based collaboration.
>>29118967The optimal setup is to drive both at the same time. Both trucks hauling materials means more work getting done.
>>29118967the optimal setup is to get a van
>>29118969Full size bringing in materials, offloading to the kei, then the kei bringing it where it's needed so the full size can go get another load. Trucket Brigade.>>29118976And put the kei truck inside the van, correct.
>>29118933That's ~15 4x8 sheets of 1/2" drywall or ~12 4x8 sheets of 3/4" plywood. Plenty
>>29118962and that's a bad thing>>29118999nigger if I wanted to carry fewer bags of cement than a Honda civic I would just keep the Honda Civic
Threadly reminder that no gei truck enthusiast has EVER explained why they would choose a small Truck with a motorcycle engine instead of a small Truck with an actual Truck engine outside of Japanese tax laws. Aside from of course....>muh quirk chungus
>>29118887>Doesn't destroy roadsIt's just a half ton truck anon not a main battle tank
>>29119029Because Kei truck has become shorthand for any small truck from Japanbtw the ToyoAce is also not sold in the US
>>29118887Both exist due to regulations in their home country.Kei trucks are maximized utility within the constraints of the cheapest vehicle tax class.Full size trucks being used as family sedans is because it's easier and more profitable to make a truck hit CAFE requirements than a sedan.
>>29119034neither are gei trucks sold in the U.Syet retards keep shilling for them for quirk chungus points
>>29118887The F150 is cool, the japslop truck is not.
>>29118887why do effete urban bugmen faggot retard cunts have such a hardon for truck hatred?
>>29118909Its illegal in all 50 states to take a kei truck on the interstate.Yes I actually looked this up a few threads ago.
>>29119043How does it feel to be so confidently wrong? In my state kei vehicles are allowed on every road, including interstates. The only restrictions they have is that it can't be your only vehicle and you can't drive it in January.
>>29119037That would be why I said>alsoI don't think anyone actually cares whether it has a 660cc engine or a 1-2LThey just want the little truck
>>29119029>with an actual Truck engineA.k.a. a diesel engine.
>>29119029A kei truck is quite a bit cheaper to import than a toyoace or a dyna.It has the same footprint as a Polaris Ranger UTV but significantly more utility. For significantly less money than a base model Ranger UTV, you get a fully enclosed cab with glass windows and locking steel doors, heat and sometimes AC depending on the trim, a significantly larger bed with a lower load height, and 4wd.In states where utvs can be driven on the road there's usually restrictions on them, a kei truck is like any other automobile. Keis use automobile tires and not expensive and fast wearing utv tires.
>>29119048Youre 100% wrong and dont know what your talking about.Interstates are federally controlled. Your state does not have authority.Federal law prohibits kei trucks from interstates.Period.End of story.>drops mic
>>29119059>same footprint as a Polaris Ranger UTV >but significantly more utility.The Polaris has a winch, 4wd with e-lockers,p 5x more suspension travel and a massive amount of tire options (that the kei doesnt have).
>>29118887americans are retarded and insecure
>>29119071that's exactly why they import useless kei junk to be seen as quirky instead of something actually useful like>>29119029
>>29119059>kei with A/C and 4wdLMFAOYou might as well buy a Ranger or Hilux at that point.Youre not getting a new kei in the U.S.Multiple states have passed new legislation banning kei trucks and some states have retroactively REVOKED registration.Theyre a niche vehicle that does well in small hamlets with cobblestone streets but if youre cruising down the highway in the U.S. in one then youre a special snowflake faggot with an anime collection that only.likes it because its Japanese.
>Its a kei truck but with an actual car engineWeebs will never buy it cus its not from a nipponese manufacturer
>thing:/>thing, japon:O
Only EVs destroy roads. Fourth power rule... Look it up.
>>29119063Show me the federal statute that backs you up, and the federal law enforcement that'd pull me over for it. Because I drove my kei truck all the time on the interstate past highway patrol and they didn't do anything.
>>29119063You're wrong. Straight up.https://www.jdmimportguide.com/kei-truck-legal-by-state/You can cross reference any state by looking it up individually.
>>29119036>Full size trucks being used as family sedans is because it's easier and more profitable to make a truck hit CAFE requirements than a sedan.This amerimutt cope again? Amerimutts pick trucks because it's a status symbol. Kys already with this FUD.
>>29119144We pick them cause they are nice and versatile
>>29119106Fourth power rule dictates that even EVs have irrelevant amount of impact on roads compared to large trucks and buses. A large truck will deteriorate a road harder than a 100 EVs will.
>>29119145Bullshit, most Americans aren't farmers. They just want to seem big and imposing without even using a truck like a truck. Most people, even fat repulsive amerimutts, would get by just fine on a small sedan or hell even a coupe with hatchback.
>>29119149Seethe harder my poor European friend.
>>29119151Holy OBSESSED
Truggers will hate you for this.
>>29119151I look nothing like this nor say anything like that, I refuse to call myself "european" due to how rotten and shitty europe is due to the european union.God I hope the Russians did invade and bomb everything to shit again.
>>29119155t. third world slavshit posing as "European"
>>29119036>>29119144>>29119149Trucks are popular all over the globe (but not kei junk). so this makes no sense. are there Cafe laws in australia and africa? what about the middle east?
>>29119154they won't even know you exist. they're too busy raising their families. the people who buy kei junk only think anime girls are attractive and can't get laid.
>>29119156>Boot licking, arse rimming muttoid pretending to be europeanYou can keep your authoritarian shithole
>thing: :)>thing, japanese:
>>29119149>Europeans know more about AmericaI am one of most Americans and I own a truck, a sedan, and a minivan. I only make $100k and wife makes $50k. I live in a large sprawling city where the average speed of traffic is definitely 75mph+. You can drive a kei here, I just wouldn't recommend it. Famously Europeans also like to dismiss how conservative Americans are with safety margins. We buy the truck to use it for 80% of it's capability while it generally seems everyone else goes with the "bought the thing, use the whole thing" mentality.
>>29118887>drawing of 2-door pickup truck when we all know soccer moms drive 4-doors with tiny beds
>>29118893>Not sure what exactly are you trying to refuteSAAR
>>29119063>Interstates are federally controlled.LOL. Interstates are federally funded (and there are some strings attached to those funds) but state controlled.
>>29119063You have no fucking idea what you're talking about, retard.
>>29119217>Interstates are federally fundedOnly for as long as states comply with federal legislation requests. In example, the drinking age in states could be anything other than 21, but because Federal DOT requires a state to comply with 21 for funding, so goes the state law. This is why you can claim interstates are federally controlled and be functionally correct.
>>29119137Fucking moron.Highway =/= INTERSTATE FREEWAY SYSTEM.
>>29119149Glamis Sand Dunes sees 1.3 MILLION unique visitors a year.Thats 1 campsite.In 1 park.In 1 state.>picAdd in all the other places people take sandrails, quads, dirt bikes, fishing boats, jet skis plus little things like 6 million deer harvested by hunters annually and the amount of people "using" their truck in a given weekend in the U.S.surpasses the population of your entire country.
>>29119323but anon, you can just destroy the tranny in your honda fit towing all that stuff there. you don't need a truck.
>>29119315Okay dipshit go try to drive a kei truck on the INTERSTATE FREEWAY SYSTEM in Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, or any of the other states listed in that page
>>29119355Why tow it?
>>29118887Has what?
>>29119385I've seen kei trucks on the interstate in iowa. I've seen utv's on the interstate in south dakota.
>>29118887What are we refuting, again?>>29119385I'm in Florida and regularly see kei trucks doing 70+mph on the highways
>>29119423Did I ever say anything about Florida?>>29119420I guess if you saw it that makes it legal.
>>29119059>A kei truck is quite a bit cheaper to import than a toyoace or a dyna.maybe there's a reason for that hmmmmm
>>29119385Kei trucks are no longer street legal in Georgia. On any street. Even if they were registered in the past.So your information is worthless to start with.Try again.
>>29119435I didn't see them pulled over. If it's illegal but not enforced is it really really illegal?
>>29118887Always some truggfag crying about pickups. Literally every day with this shit. I'm sorry you saw headlights in your rear view mirror while going 30 in the left lane of a 3 lane road with a 55mph speed limit.
>>29119494>Kei trucks are no longer street legal in GeorgiaWow it's almost like that's literally the point I was making from the beginning...
>>29119158Too busy raising their wife's son.
>>29119063No, retard, they are federally funded. It is illegal for the federal government to regulate state land except through the interstate clause.
>>29118999Payload is anything that's not the truck and fluids. I'm afraid you overload the truck all by yourself sir.
>>29118902>In EuropeYeah well that's not in America where we have 130kmh on some interstates.
>>29119557kei cuck fans love their NTR and blacked fantasies, don't they.
>>29119020>and that's a bad thingHow? I have had a nissan clipper van and currently have a suzuki carry truck. On sites and around town the guys fight over who gets to use it. Problem with them is that while they are good for a few roles that role definitely doesnt include highway driving which is almost all what americans do apparently. If you have one you dont want it as your only car unless you never or very rarely touch the highway.
>>29119029>instead of a small Truck with an actual Truck enginepic related: all the small trucks available in the domestic market today
>>29119567Depends on the country. I believe japan is full operational condition plus 150 lbs driver. Their payload ratings are stuck on the back of their trucks and its always rounded to 50kg. Common is 1,000, 1,250, 1500, 2000, 2,500, 3000, 3,500, 4000. No matter if manual, automatic, a/c, no a/c, high deck, low deck.A kei truck with a manual transmission, manual windows, no a/c, non assisted steering, dropside bed, cloth seats will have 350kg payload. And for the same year and model with an automatic, auto windows, a/c, power steering, dump bed(for real) and pleather seats will have....350kg payload
>>29118887Who cares about bed length anyways? They have these things called trailer which your toy truck can't tow
>>29118887>only used by businesses to move stuffBut businesses don't use those either.
>>29119435>Did I ever say anything about Florida?Do the speed limits of any of the other states you mentioned exceed 80mph? Think before answering.
>>29119590nobody has ever driven a Honda civic weight truck and said to themselves >"THIS TRUCK IS TOO HEAVY I WISH IT WAS LIGHTER!!!!!!"
>>29119597I notice there aren't any gei trucks on that lot either
>>29119675The fact you think this has anything to do at all with the speed limit of any road in any state means you're not on the same page as anyone else.
>>29119597Ironic post is unironic and not fucking funny.
>>29119590>nissan clipper vanThanks for outing yourself.Nobody knows what this is because it has a very limited market- even for exporting.I actually think you're a bot.
>>29119717Yeah, I live in Nebraska and I-80 is just an 85mph road. State troops will totally let you pass cause they only exist to try to nab people driving away from Colorado with weed.
>>29119423Must be lucky because every time I got behind one they'd do 15 under.
>ITT:>30 yearold basement dwelling NEETs that have never taken a driving test VS truck and land owners.
>>29119797Nice blog post. Care to share anything relevant to the thread at all?
>>29118887Sambars in US are driven by weebs not by businesses.>inb4 they are not allowed to be sold new>>29118889Neither can a nip buy a raptor.It's all gay regulation rather than people making free choices and fair comparison
>>29118902>In Europe, trucks can only drive 90 km an hour on highwayssurely that only refers to semi-truck tractor trailers and not everyday pickup trucks and vans
>>29119888Here in Germany trucks between 3.5t and 7.5t have to drive below 80 and trucks above 7.5t are limited to 60 aside from the Autobahn where they can go 80.Under 3.5t they have the same rules as cars.You're allowed to go on the Autobahn if you can legally drive above 60.
>>29118902It varies by state but the interstates near me outside of town are 135kmh with people often doing more than 145kmh. The main problem with any k sized car is being able to keep up to that for hours at a time. Some might be able to go that fast but can they do it for hours?
>>29119647
>>29118933Still more than 98% of truckoids will ever dump in their beds
Pick ups are the crossover of the utility vehicle world.Good at nothing, oversized for no reason and simply exist mostly for women.
>>29120026Blatantly false but believe what you want faggot.
>>29120026You never see trucks being utilized because the only time you encounter them is on the commute to your McJob them you crawl back into your basement and play video games for 10 hours.
>>29120028nice buttplug
>>29120046Well he's not gonna put anything else back there.
>>29119151Rent free
>>29120046Thanks I use it to break bucks
You bought a big truck because you thought it'd make you look more manly but it just made you look gayYou got a tattoo because you thought it'd make you look tough and manly but everyone knows you're a fagYou grew a beard because you thought it'd make you look more masculine but it just made you look gay.

>>29119942Tell us more about American life in your oblast, comrade.
>>29120255I converted the speed to commie for the europoors. It's easier for them to understand since saying 85mph with most people doing over 92mph means nothing to them.
>>291198913.5 tons is 7,700 pounds.For an american pickup to weight that much you need to be in F350 crew cab longbed dually 4x4 territory. Or EV hummer.Most american pickups weigh around the same as a BMW M5.
>>29118887Can't go triple digit speeds loaded with a trailer at night with Japanese truck. Only American aluminum can do that.
>>29120171I don't think the words you used mean what you think they do.
>>29120262>Most <current bloated> american pickups weigh around the same as a BMW M5.My F100 weighs less than a Camry.
>>29120271projecting your own lack of understanding
>>29120262It's the maximum weight, not the actual weight. The Ford F150 available in Europe is limited in that it's only allowed to carry one ton extra.
>>29120340>the half ton pickup is only allowed to carry 1 ton.Problem?!
>>29118887the sambar doesnt have the torque or suspension to handle youre mom
>>29118902This isn't the Berlin Wall anymore grandpa.
