kei trucks

My suburban with Michelin ATX tires would need 4x4 on to also not be stuck on flat grass. They had 75% tread too. Worst AT tire ever made. It also has a positive rear.

Ya. There are some options for locking diffs but it's not trivial to find and buy

There are tons of lift kits out there now but there is a trade off to going to a UTV tire vs street

Kei trucks are getting harder to register

It got stuck in wet grass on flag ground. Even with 4wd. Granted I had street tires but it was awful.

Hard to find parts compared to most vehicles. Insurance was annoying to get.

For working on the farm, just use the tractor.

Recently registered mine, not complicated at all.

Mine will climb slopes I hadn't expected it to (maybe 30-35 degrees on grass and dirt) in 4WD, but without the diff lock. And on street tires.

Haven't needed any parts, but many places sell nothing but KEI parts. And insurance was stupid easy to get.

Why would I use a tractor when the HiJet will do the job? Yes, at times I take the Can Am instead, but generally prefer the basically disposable HiJet. No, it certainly can't do what the tractors can, but those I use for tractor work.

Diff lock would be a difference maker but I didn't have it

Parts, I couldn't find a carburetor for a price I was willing to pay. Literally as expensive as I paid for the truck

Transmission parts were also hard to find. They could order a hole unit but not synchros or gears.
