I’ve wanted one of these for decades but the options are pay out the ass for import fees or buy a 30 year old model, neither fee great. Hate that my government is apparently dead set on all of us driving massive trucks and SUVs over realist vehicles

It's almost as if car manufacturers and big oil write the laws to increase their own profit margins...
If these don't meet road safety requirements then it won't get better

Here's where they're legal, and exactly how legal they are in the US
Many of the "legal" states aren't all that legal, really.
Used commonly in railway maintenance in Japan! This budget friendly truck is favoured by JR which want to cut budget on everything.

As much as overpaying sucks, that thing is just asking to get obliterated on an American road.
Or just use them in cities or rural areas. Not everyone goes onto the freeway everyday.
Are American roads like one of those bumper car thingies of the amusement parks?
So people are tired of paying 60 to 90k for an f150 or a Dodge ram? You don't say!
What is the too small for road safety thing? That's pure bullshit, right? Smart cars are legal, how can these not be?
Give us cheap EVs and small trucks god damnit!!!

Besides taking way less space on the road or while parking, you'll only have to lift your stuff half the way up to the RAM or something like it. I personally like not breaking my back.
