zeitgeist57 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 So, I have a hard-on for simple transportation... Read this article: http://www.autoblog.com/2011/11/10/scion-considering-daihatsu-based-pickup-for-u-s/ Apparently you can drive mini-trucks in Montana (and several other states)? http://www.iihs.org/laws/minitrucks.aspx 4x4, dump bed, stick-shift and 30-40mpg??? http://www.tomsminitrucks.com/ Cons: Top speed: meh. 55-60mph? Tin-can in an accident. No A/C. Cool idea, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I like that "they can easily stop going down a hill with excellent 4-wheel braking!" If I were in an urban area I'd be all over it. Wouldn't work for my lifestyle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 They are kind of expensive for that they are / what you get. The Dumping Bed could come in handy on rare occasion. KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 We looked at buying a Mitsu for the farm for awhile. If you youtube them there are some funny videos of them pulling big ass trailers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 They are fairly popular in Colombia, although when I read Mini-Trucks I was picturing some cool old Toyota or Datsun or Nissan pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIEF Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've got a 92 mighty max. 'Murdered out', 5 spd, 2.0. Nothin in the engine bay but a battery and a alt. No pw/ps/ac. Use it for work and love it. Sometimes I'll fancy a lady to a fish filet sandwich in it from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bruh Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 i like driving little trucks http://www.thecarcompanyonline.com/show_image.php?file=/home/ebaitbiz/public_html/ebait_images/cc0n71ne/2005-Ford-Super-Duty-F-350-DRW_C61437-1.jpg&curw=640&curh=480&width=640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrsplat Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I thought this thread was going to be about a different kind of mini trucks. http://image.sporttruck.com/f/9236938+w750+st0/0702st_10_z+2006_mini_truckin_nationals+toyota_truck.jpg http://cajondecables.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/nothing-to-do-here-template.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Sonoma Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I did too...so dissapointed. On another note there is a dealership close to Indy that has 20 variations of these mini things. I'll see if they have a website next time Im out that way for you OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
