We are no longer selling complete Trucks
Our established relationships with English speaking Japanese auto-exporters ensures we get quality cars with no surprises. We also have great working relationships with multiple part vendors to provide full vehicle support.
Our trucks are all personally selected from Japanese auto auctions by me. I use my experience having bought, owned, maintained, and sold over 150 different automobiles, a dozen or more motorcycles, and almost 20 CARBURETED aircraft to get the best vehicles we can. I search for the best trucks available at auction in Japan and send the auction sheet to my Japanese speaking export team located in Japan, to translate all vehicle information into English. After I review the translated information, pictures, and condition diagram we make a decision to buy or not. If the truck meets our stringent criteria we bid a fair amount on the carefully selected trucks and try to win them at auction.
I don't need to sell these trucks I do it because they are cool, and people who enjoy them are cool. I don't want to deal with junk cars or junk people. Over 80% of the trucks I see at auction are eliminated for heavy rust, cracked windshields, corrosion, engine smoke, strange noises, or other pitfalls. Any cars that don't meet our standards are not bid on.

Q: Are all the trucks manual transmission?
A: Yes, All 4WD trucks are manual transmission. 2WD trucks can come with AUTO trans, special order is required.
Q: Are parts hard to get?
A: No, Subaru and Honda factory or aftermarket parts are easily obtained domestically or from Japan.
Q: Can you help me find parts for my Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Cushman, China-Brand, or Daihatsu?
A: No. These brands of mini trucks do not have readily available parts.
Q: Can I trade you my RZR, Commander, SIde-by-Side, golf cart for an enclosed cab Japanese minitruck?
A: No Thanks, maybe try to sell it on craigslist.
Q: How long can I expect my truck to last?
A: If maintained properly there is no reason your truck cannot last years or decades more. These are built to last.
Q. I found a japanese mini truck for sale from another seller and the price is cheaper than yours, how come?
A: I offer the cleanest trucks for the best prices. All of our trucks come fully serviced and ready to run. I personally select and win each truck individually at auctions in Japan. Each truck has between $500-$1200 dollars of maintenance, upholstery, detailing, parts, and paint and body work. We provide ALL import paperwork. Other sellers are selling trucks right out of the shipping container with incomplete paperwork. U.S. Customs can confiscate and impound vehicles not imported properly, BUYER BEWARE. I'm sure you can find lesser trucks for lesser money. You won't be able to find cleaner, better maintained trucks, for less money.
Q: Did any of your trucks flood in the hurricane or heavy rainfall?
A: No, fortunately our lot does not flood.
Q: Whats with the Pink centercaps?
A: Minitruck
Q: Why would anyone put mud tires on a minivan?
A: Minitruck
Q: Can you fit 25" tires with the 2" lift kit?
Me: Minitruck
Q: Are Japanese Minitrucks hard to work on?
A: NASA's Johnson Space Center is just a few miles down the road on I-45, I can guarantee no one is there working on minitrucks.
Q: What about Carburetors. I heard they were bad, don't they make fuel injected trucks?
A: Carburetors get a bad reputation from there ability to get clogged when sitting. Everyone knows the frustration of trying to start an engine after it has been sitting for winter.
Modern Ethanol Fuels can absorb so much water destroying the fuel and preventing good trucks from running after only 2 months of non-use. Often people ad "fresh fuel" from their red cans, that is months old, and already spoiled.
Because Carbs run less pressure than fuel injected engines they are easier to clog. Don't let your Truck sit, Get out there and use it.
Q: How do I get insurance to drive on the streets or putting around town?
A: For street legal use, you would insure similar to any other car. Carriers that have offered quotes were Progressive, Allstate, Haggerty, and the Farm Bureau insurance. Due to the nature of the trucks, I've found some carriers deny coverage or consider them commercial vehicles, as they have the ability for a flatbed (Geico, Amica). This is not a complete list and can change so be sure you can get coverage before you buy.
Q: Do you have a discrimination policy?
A: US Mini Trucks does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, cultural background, political beliefs, or marital status. We do however have the right to refuse service to rude people, disrespectful people, bad pet owners, and nincompoops.
