The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators recommended states to ban non-FMVSS compliant cars, including everything keijidōsha, back in 2021. The Texas DMV has issued a ruling that these cars are now, and will remain, street legal for use on Texas roadways.

Me and the boys (and girls) loading up on the Kei Truck to do some ecoterrorism against ShinRa.
Can someone explain why they are banned to begin with here ?
Because if we were allowed to import light duty pick up trucks it would kill off three separate domestic markets. Theyre better work vehicles than pick up trucks, better commuters than suvs and better utility vehicles than sedans or hatchbacks.
The only way they’re lacking at all is if you need to transport more than two people which virtually nobody in America does anyway.
I just love these little trucks. If I could get away with the small payload, I’d buy one tomorrow.
They typically haul about as much as a crew cab pickup anyway, and are much easier to load and unload.
