Kei or Mini Track versus ATV


The mini truck is a Japanese import that is available in the U.S. at Uvalco Supply in Uvalde Texas for off-road purposes only. Also known as a Kei truck or k-truck, the Japanese mini truck is becoming an increasingly popular choice for farm and ranch because of its enclosed climate-controlled cabin and workhorse flatbed with a load capacity of up to 1,500 lbs., a large flat deck and drop-down sides. Mini trucks are multi-purpose 4x4 vehicles for a variety of applications:

• Off-road hunting vehicle
• Farm and ranch as a utility vehicle
• Construction
• University campuses
• Golf Courses
• Parks
• Shipping yards and factories
• And many more…..

Uvalco’s mini trucks can be used year round, and come equipped with a heater for use in colder weather. You can have an air conditioner installed as well, and these Japanese mini trucks offer all the comfort and convenience of a modern pick-up cab without the high gas bills. Uvalco mini trucks enjoy up to 50 miles per gallon. Each Japanese Kei truck has low mileage, is carefully inspected by our mechanics, and rebuilt Texas tough.

All trucks are modified to meet or exceed requirements set forth by the EPA and will not exceed 25 MPH.

Q: What’s the difference between an ATV and a mini truck?

A: The biggest difference is price. Japanese mini trucks – including Isuzu mini trucks, Toyota mini trucks, Daihatsu mini trucks and Suzuki mini trucks which are known as Kei trucks or k-trucks – start at around $4,995. Comparably equipped ATVs will cost you three times as much. In most instances, the work capacity and amenities offered by the mini truck make it a much better vehicle for farm and ranch use.
