The ‘kei’ cars and trucks are growing in popularity in the U.S. But many states have explicitly banned them in recent years. A bill at the statehouse would allow them on Colorado roads.
Newer kei truck in the video, safety standards are different (and higher). The US only allows ones from the 90s, and while a most of them had the engine behind the cab, the cabs are often a bit top-heavy and a forward roll risk.
I’d love to see the state of autos in the US flipped on its head.
None of us want to be killed by the Ford F150 ,000,000.
Are you right about them being unsafe? Timestamped this crash test vid here for y’all. Older video but sticks in my mind.

That’s a newer one and it’s still a death trap? Sigh.
Ah-mazing for private property etc. though!
