I am amazed people think these are a good deal. Do they have a place, yes. A good deal hell no. Was pricing new and used side x sides, the prices are out of hand. A kei truck is a way better value and more usefull. You even get a full cab with heat.
mini trucks have their place, but they cant clip along rough trails like rangers can. They dont have the off road suspension travel. Also i can buy a new ranger, in Canada we cant import a new mini truck, has to be 15 years old. I dont want something 15 years old thats been used for what? i have no idea. I use to want a mini truck because rangers are so expensive, but for what i want it for a mini truck just cant compete with a ranger. You could buy a 15 year old Ranger for cheaper than that 15 year old mini truck.
