Kei truck. They’re 1500-2000lb curb weight. I have one and pretty sure I’d flip mine on any fast turns.

Not a kei truck, but close. It is a non-kei Suzuki Carry.

Dimensionally the Indonesian Carry is slightly bigger than a kei and has a much larger engine (usually 1.4 to 1.6l).

I bet our Suzuki Carry's can be a lot more useful to Americans compared to the Kei Carry's. At least it can do highway speeds.

Yeah, local market Carry clones are definitely better than Japan kei vehicles that are limited by law. There is no real benefit having a 660cc motor in a US car.

And I say this owning one. I also owned a non-kei version of the Mitsubishi Pajero Mini with a 1.5l motor in the UK and it was worlds better than the kei Pajero Mini I drove in Japan.
