Wordy. This kei jidosha K-truck is licensed by the Chinese company Chang’an and produced in Poteau, Oklahoma and we're not so sure it's legal to drive on the street. We'd double check with the DMV before Mr. Bicycle Police Officer pulls us over.

Yes, my fellows Revolutionaries, there are Chinese vehicles built and sold in triple-cheeseburger, red, white and blue America.


But if you need a great little one-ton hauler for around the ranch, golf course or farm, the gasoline engine produces a mighty 35 horsepower and 54 lb-ft of torque, so forget about drag racing grandma’s Prius. Fuel economy hovers somewhere around 40 mpg on the highway…if you could drive on the highway. Which you probably can’t, so forget it.

There are a number of cab arrangements available, ranging from a single cab all the way up to a 7-passenger micro-van. The available options range from a snow plow to a hot dog cooker. A domestic dealer will be happy to field your frenzied purchase requests or buy this used one we found for sale in Seattle (Kenmore), WA.
