Yeah, that’s an insane comment. I regularly tow an 8,500 lbs trailer with my pickup and regularly haul 2,000 lbs of pellets for our stove in it. Sometimes I tow the trailer with an additional 500 lbs of stuff in the bed of the pickup. I seriously doubt a kei truck - which aren’t even available here in the US - could handle either of those tasks.
Unless you’re talking about towing other cars and carrying entire trees yea a kai probably wouldn’t make the cut but for furniture transportation fire wood mail delivery and mulch transportation are all things that take way less horsepower than you think hell even with car towing I’ve done with a dinky little 4 wheeler from the 80s if a atv can do all the things I mentioned a kai can absolutely accomplish them and you don’t take up soo much space when you take your haul through the city the reason everyone hates full size pickups is because soo many people just use them to get groceries and nothing more
It’s good as a shop truck sure. But most American CARS have double the payload weight of a kei.
They have a place, but what I was responding to was nonsense. Pickup trucks are a necessity for tons of work. A lot of crews doing different work haul trailers full of their tools and material.
so what’s so magical about the US that people need pickups there but not in the rest of the world? If you need to haul tools you have a van, which can carry a vastly larger volume without getting things wet.
Are you seriously saying a fucking kei truck is more useful than a pickup?
You’ve never done a day of blue collar work and it shows. That chintzy little JDM truck can’t do half of what America’s work force needs.

Yeah, the post reads like someone who’s never done any manual labor in their life.
I’m their mind pickup trucks were being used to haul paper and poster board to their office job. Hahahahaha
And let’s face it, there are quite a few pickups around that have never hauled anything. But to claim they can’t haul anything is just bizarre.

I’m not going to sit here and argue workforce necessities with you.
Your statement was false, that’s it. Pickup trucks are an immutable necessity for the vast majority of workers in America.
Cope harder.
you’re the one who’s clearly coping and seething lol, but hey have fun
