:::Welcome to Superior Mini Trucks::::

Information » »

A truck that has been engineered since the 1960's, Kei means "light weight" in Japanese, describing the very efficient nature of these vehicles. Manufacturers produce these small trucks as alternatives to larger trucks. There is a need for smaller vehicles that can maneuver the narrow streets, and fit into extremely small parking spaces found in the cities. They are also versatile enough to be used for farm work and in the mountain villages. These tough little trucks are used for deliveries and service work in towns, and for field work on the farms of Japan, and now in the United States.

The Japanese manufacturers, Suzuki, Daihatsu (Toyota affiliate), Mitsubishi, Honda and Subaru primarily produced these trucks with a 550cc engine until the early 1990's. Then regulations changed, allowing them to be equipped with 660cc engines. While each manufacturer offers slightly different features, they are all about equal in their size, ruggedness, power and capabilities. The most important feature of these vehicles is the proven engineering and manufacturing quality that goes into each one, built to last !
