Used for: EVERYTHING...lol. Farming, Fishing, Work Trucks, Construction, Beer Trucks, and anything else you can think of. They are called "Keitora's" in Japan. Kei (pronounced "Kay" ) - Keijidosha (660cc or less) and "tora" (pronounced "Torah") - basically shortened for "truck". My father-in-law drives ones to his business every day.

So crazy. I grew up with Tony and his kids. Now my wife works with him and his wife. Small world.

I love the simplicity and durability, it's way better than today's trucks.

Ooohhhh snap I’ve always wanted one of those. This will make chores so much easier. Hope you love it as much as I think I would😂

I believe you have just increased Mayberry's Overall Sales of these Mini Trucks. What a great idea for Homesteaders and even farmers. They are economical to own and operate. They need to put you on a commision or a service rebate account for units sold by your referral. This is great info for everyone. ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND THE FAMILY!!

This is the second video I've seen featuring Mayberry Mini trucks

Well, a good change is to replace the tires with off-road tires. So you won't slip on wet grass.

And fully articulated suspension so it can do rock crawling:)

Just got back from Japan. They use them a lot outside of Tokyo and the other bug cities they are pretty cool.

I had a brand new suzuki carry in 1990, it was my daily drive here in the UK. When asked what it was like to drive, i always gave the same reply "it's a smile a mile".

Ninety-nine percent of Japanese farmers have "Kei trucks". Light trucks are called "kei-tora" for short in Japan. Fishermen also have Kei trucks. Kei trucks still support the Japanese economy. It is funny to see videos of that Kei truck being customized in various ways in the U.S., and I am impressed by the idea. from Japan.😄

Jason. At 11:34 your big smile and eyes showed the same expression of a 16 year old with their first vehicle. You are a family that deserves great joy. You work hard and your homestead progress shows it. Thanks for sharing.

A perfect addition to your homestead.

Trucks sweet! They were used more so around the fish market than the homestead either way rock solid when it comes to reliability the Japanese know how to do it 💪

Awesome y’all, that truck will be a huge time saver.

Tell me why I am grinning from ear to ear😁 What a cute truck🤗

Jason, you are a hoot! I do not think I have laughed so much when watching a homesteading video. I personally think that was a great purchase, the little truck. Good luck and good for you guys.

that is so cute I'm glad you got this little helper.

So glad you bought this Jason, farm life is hard and heavy, it will save your shoulders and back Luv ya

Such a smart move getting that truck. Here in Italy, they are all over the place, and the smaller ones with only 3 wheels haha. Many Italians own homes with some land and they use the truck to get around the property. I have neighbors who use theirs to move crates of olives or grapes during harvest, firewood for storage for winter, everything pretty much. I know you will love it.

I love that truck, looks like so much fun to drive - everyone was smiling too. Maybe get a rubber mat to protect that flat bed. I'm sure its going to be so useful on your new farm.

I would just do truck bed liner.

When I was in the Air Force and was either deployed and stationed in Korea, we drove those around the base. Was very helpful carrying our tools and equipment.

when I retired we bought a Suzuki Swift...she's a great little car.We love her!!!

I think you are going to REALLY appreciate the new farm truck!

Love those trucks. It's perfect for you and your homestead. So glad you bought one.

I’m not sure you should put a wench on it but a winch would be great😅

You’ll be very surprised, these things are unstoppable off road. Toyo Open country make the right size too. Super light weight and 5ft wide, your going to loose a wrangler pretty quick through the trees.

I love these trucks. It was the norm on the island of Okinawa, Japan where we lived back in 1978. When I first arrived to the island I thought they were so strange looking! But they are really the perfect size for so many things that you do on the farm! You're gonna love this little truck! Always!

Game changer!!🎉So happy for you guys! Y'all and Penelope are going to have so much fun with that!!! 🚚🌱🌱🌱🌻🌄

Great purchase!! Definately needs your logo on it!!

Very cool little vehicle. Glad you got the one that turns the back into a flatbed.

Hello, Jason. I'm happy to see you acquired something that should make your day-to-day routine easier, but it's stowaway dog that made me give the video a thumbs up!

Really cool, and $5K to $8K is a nice price range for a vehicle. I've watched one or two videos about how these trucks are used in Japan; they sized the beds to exactly fit a standard type of crate used to haul produce, and made them very efficient and affordable for small farms. One has to expect that they are made with Japanese quality, too.

I love these trucks I just wish they came in automatic due to a back injury. I can’t do stick anymore.

They're rare, but you can get these trucks in automatic.

Congratulations on your new vehicle. Good choice. It’s going to be so helpful for you.

Your photo with Elvira in the front seat and chicken in the back is priceless 😂😂 Watching you after a long hard work day just made my night!! Love your family!!

More acreage, more opportunities!

So cool!! I know what a big help and time saver this is going to be for you when you’re hauling stuff around the farm!!! And it’s cute 😊

Pretty cool. Definitely better than a SxS.

What a game changer! I love creative problem solving and it's adorable/super flexible!

I love it! You have definitely used your brain with getting something different that is more useful than what the masses are! Smart!

Awesome! I've always thought those looked super useful. Let us know how it goes for you

I think the new mini truck is PERFECT!!! Great addition && going to be SO helpful with all the farm chores and errands!!

Oh heck yeah! That truck fits y'all's personality so much! Love it!

I grew up in South Africa ,driving on the opposite site to the USA moving to the USA driving was a challenge. you will get use to it

Nice to see you sat on the proper side to drive 😂😂 It suits you

That's gotta be the coolest looking little truck 🚚 You could put a small tote on the back. 👍

Took a Suzuki van like that right round Australia in the 80s, , no troubles , off road rough road, dirt road. You will love it. You will won't blow that engine up, as long as you service it.

How very cool to have a new farm truck!! Congratulations Jason! So awesome 💖

Oh Jason! I am sooo jealous. I have been looking at a Honda ACTY dump truck. They are a RightSide drive. Will look into this location! 🌞🌱❤️

Dude that’s super cool! Your always ahead Jason 😊

Cute little truck! Happy for you all!

Wow. That’s perfect ! Back saver. Happy for you folks.

Love your new truck. This is going to be great on the farm, especially as you domore with the land way back there. That would be a very hot walk, come July and August. So happy you were able to get this. Y'all have a Blessed day..

Your need for one resonates for me well. I purchased 34 acres and need a utility vehicle. The Japanese Mini Trucks really are the superior utility vehicle and best value for what they can do. I've been thinking of getting a Suzuki Carry and I learned a few things in this video that help me understand why it is the right choice.

That truck is awesome.

Awesome! I love these trucks. Always wanted one! Way better than a side by side

That’s awesome! What a great help to you that little truck will be love and prayers from Canada 🇨🇦

Love that truck, congratulations.

finally starting to look happy... not upset like you were in the earlier days.

YES, Sow the Land on the doors!!!! 🤗

So much more practical than a side by side. Great choice!

So cool! Awesome job Jason! 🤣 Randy was a bit unsure 🤣

Nice, my father-in-law had one and I loved driving it to everything I visit him in Japan on his farm.

Wow , we have that also here in phillippines very useful and very practical, we called that truc rusco and multicab

Canada here, easy tip for dealing with kilometers on the speedo. Take first number and times by 6. 50=30mph 5x6. 90km = 54 mph 9x6, 100=60mph 10x6. Good job on not buying a side by side, this will be way better.

Jason, Nothing beats a farm / street legal all purpose 4WD verroom...hauling gets easier and when it rains, drive it & stay dry...as always, Cheers from Maine.

i'm curious what the MPGs on one of these are!

What a great little truck! I didn't quit smiling the whole time! As a senior citizen, I can tell you that any wear & tear you can save on your body now will be a blessing later in life! God Bless!

Great to see you buy a truck with the steering wheel on the correct side! lol. Have fun.

Living the absolute dream with that beautiful land and sweet little new car. Here in Hawaii people use them as their beach/surf cars. They are popping up more and more, and can hold lots of surf boards.

Love this video! Can’t stop smiling from ear to ear. And your knack for picking “just right “ music is incredible!

The Wheels on the truck go round and round ...round and round... round and round ...the wheels on the truck go round and round... all over the farm!!! 😊thanks for the laughs and enjoy. The Nana's from Central Florida

That's awesome! It's going to be a workhorse for you!

Boy I really like your decision making process. Practical and economical, great fit for your family.

I’m so happy for you. I’ve often thought you were quite the “beast of burden”. This should make life easier. It’s cute too. You need to name it!

Those mini trucks are great! Congratulations!

What a great addition to your farm! You could also add a water tank to the back! Have fun!

Fan Fact: Lots of country side kids in Japan learn how to drive a car in these "grandpa's" kei trucks. My grandpa had one too.

Definitely need to do the "Sow the Land" logo on the side! We have a neighbor who has one of these and my husband wants one! Thanks so much for highlighting the guy who's selling them.

That truck looks amazing & fun! Thanks for sharing! I would have trouble shifting gears with my left hand! You’ll all learn it quickly. Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦

There you go, driving on the correct side of the vehicle even if you're driving on the wrong side of the road! Hi from Australia

Congratulations. I have one of these and custom cut a piece of plywood to line the bed to keep out the dings. They are great for hauling. Enjoy on the homestead.

Congratulations!! We are so pleased for you guys!! How about a trailer hitch to move the chickens and pigs and their water/feed all at the same time?? God bless!!

@11:24 brought me back to being 16 again, ear-to-ear Koolaid smile and all.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉I've never heard anything bad about those types of trucks👍✌✌

Super smart move Jason! Very good choice!

❤so happy for you guys! Great video too - thx for taking us along & teaching us more about these mini trucks - what a great option! God bless❤

The dealer seems like such an incredibly nice guy

That is the cutest little truck! It seems perfect for what you need.

That looks like sooooo much fun!!! And it’s a fantastic idea as well❤

Very good 👍 and the Driver sits on the correct side 😁🇬🇧👍

I've lived in Tokyo Japan for 32+ years. I've owned a "Kei" (pronounced "kay") Truck or van for about 25 years. They are great. I have a Subaru, but I don't do much off-road, but in the snow the engine being in the rear is great. I drive my Kei van on the expressway all the time, but I've found a limit of about 3 hours is all you want to travel. Getting one makes sense, they get great gas mileage and a very reliable. Shifting with your left hand takes a bit to get used to, but you will get used to it. Cheers from Tokyo!

My husband works in Viticulture here in NZ. They have a mini truck the Same, always mades me laugh watching it drive up and down the wine grape rows! Such great wee trucks 😊

Last time I saw a smile that big was when Jason you got the big farm. He’s having fun with that truck my goodness.

That looks so helpful for the homestead! My only suggestion...make sure to lock down that external battery some how! In my area that would be the first to be stolen when you park it in a parking lot in town.

I have seen them with a tilt bed. Makes it easy to move logs or mulch

I love it Jason! You are so wise. Always thinking through what would work best. ❤🙏

I am SO happy for you! What an awesome little work truck!!
