About Kei Truck Finder
A free guide for Americans who want a Japanese mini truck: is it legal in my state, which one should I buy, and what does it really cost.
What this site is
We cover the kei truck laws in all 50 states and Washington, DC, the five trucks people buy (Suzuki Carry, Honda Acty, Daihatsu Hijet, Subaru Sambar, Mitsubishi Minicab), their best-known years, and what they cost.
Kei Truck Finder is run by Rakesh Bandari, from India, with the Kei Truck Finder team.
Why a US guide from India?
We can’t walk into your DMV, so we never ask you to take our word for it. Every rule on a state page links to the state’s own law or agency, shows the date we checked it, and says when an answer is unclear. Owner experiences are quoted from real US owners, labeled as theirs, with a link to the original.
What we do and don’t do
Plain answers, no sales pitch.
- We don’t sell trucks
- We’re not a dealer or an importer, and no dealer pays us. Prices on the site come from dealer listings, each with its dealer and date.
- We’re not lawyers
- This is general information, not legal advice. Laws change: confirm with your state before you buy.
- How the site is paid for
- Today it isn’t: no ads. Later, ads may pay the bills. They will be labeled “Advertisement” and never sit inside the state checker, the state list or the quiz.
- If we ever earn from a link
- We’ll say so right next to that link.
