I spotted these on a dealer lot in PA. Nobody around to ask. They're like 3/4 size trucks, and appear to be streetable. The pickups seem to have three way dump beds, which is pretty handy. Anyone recognize the make?

Looks Chinese made. Wonder if they are street legal?

It's a Chana.

Place I used to work at ran a fleet of these. Small enough to run in a plant.

But is it street legal?

They are from a Chinese brand named Chana as mentioned above. I would highly doubt they can be registered or street legal.

SMV triangle makes it legal?

The mini trucks are pretty popular around here, though obviously not for on road. If that was street legal, got decent MPG, and a reasonable cost, I'd really consider one. I wonder how difficult it is to find parts, not just now but in a decade.

There are about three vehicles this size on the road legally in our area of eastern Canada locally. They are really small and pretty narrow.


Probably top speed is not usable or practical on main highways.

Daihatsu and Suzuki used to make and import them here, inlcuding 4x4 and dump/flatbed versions. Late 80s-90s I think. All the ones I've seen around here were right hand drive. They're street legal in AZ.

If you're willing to deal with Right Hand Drive, these are basically copies of Japanese Kei trucks that have been around for ages. You can import 25+ year old ones and register them for road use.

In some states you can register these easily as a LSV (low speed vehicle). We utilize a similar passenger carrying van type. LSV skirt some EPA and DOT requirements (CHECK YOUR STATE). We also learned you can change out the controllers and rock 70mph
