Japanese mini-trucks, known as kei trucks are very popular in Seattle. I'm seriously thinking of getting one someday.
Subaru,
Honda, Suzuki, Mitsubishi and Daihatsu all made kei trucks, and from a
distance they all look exactly the same. But the Subaru is the best one.
*
The Suzuki, Mitsubishi and Daihatsu all have the engine under the cab,
making for terrible weight distribution, not to mention a hot, loud
ride.
* The Subaru has the engine behind the rear axle, for very easy
access. The Honda has the engine in front of the rear axle. But the cab
on the Honda is so small that a big person has a bit of a hard time
driving it.
* The Subaru has push-button 4-wheel drive.
And of
course these trucks are all right-hand drive, and virtually all have
manual transmissions. Not a problem for me, I'm left-handed.
