I simply cannot comprehend why these truck aren't available new in North America. The new Toyota Hilux Champ is an awesome basic truck that would out sell pretty much any other small truck on the market because it costs around $15K USD with a diesel engine and an automatic transmission. The truck market today desperately needs affordable vehicles like these for people that cannot afford the ridiculously high priced north American models.
It soooo convoluted to be annoying. There’s some stuff about safety standards, and some thing about High tariffs and protecting American manufacturing from the evils of foreign cargo vehicles, 🤷♂️ I dunno, it’s just ridiculous. Also something to do with those café emission standards and those foreign vehicles don’t fit them properly or something I don’t know. The government got a lot of stupid regulations in place and foreign vehicles don’t fit into them and so they don’t wanna import them unless they’re antiques which is that whole 25 year thing.
You must be blind to the corruption of the American government. Why would America want you to have a practical vehicle that is cheap to maintain and on gas….
I've been watching kei-trucks lately and to my surprise, it's you, Adam! I'm a subscriber of yours from Producer Michael videos. Didn't know you fancy those too. Suits you well because it's right-hand drive like the cars in your country. We have a lot of those here in the Philippines, from old models to newer ones. And the best thing is they're left-hand drive! We drive on the right side of the road here, too just like in the US. I am fascinated by westerners getting excited about these little trucks because it's pretty common here in the Ph.
Brilliant vid and very funny in parts. 20+ years of Japanese farts lol. Madness!! Looking forward to seeing some customization of the KAS (KADAMSWORDS) TRUCK.
I can see it built and painted to match the explorer pro towing a single on an adventure someday, but then there are more suitable things for that and this could be a collectable in its current form at some point to someone
i've got a '91 acty which i've still not detailed after 20mo owning it, and you're making me feel like maybe i should! never thought about taking the headrests off though, that's an interesting idea.
That’s a great adventure truck. I can think of one place to take it. Take it to Goodsprings, Nevada and the Pioneer Saloon. Then climb the nearby service road to the top of 8,500’ Potosi Mountain where you can get the ultimate view of Las Vegas. I’ve made that trip many times on my Honda Rincon ATV and it’s spectacular.
Nice!!! My sons there, he just imported a 2023 Daihatsu Hijet Jumbo, said he registered same as his sxs for road use there just no freeway or highway! He also has a Suzuki carry, a Honda acty, and a Subaru Sambar? Those are older models. If you get a chance look up DAIHATSU HIJET BUG TRUCK, he has a 2023 enclosed box camper coming from Japan for his wife. Very cool little trucks! My other son just installed bigger brakes, suspension, a turbo kit on his kei truck, hoping I can get in on that fun come summer! Looking at a 2018 van hijet!
What cleaning supplies do you use and what’s that brush you had on a drill to clean your interior? I hate spray shampoo did you use on the seats. Love the episodes. Never miss a single one. Keep it up and hopefully I can join you on a seadoo adventure sometime.
What’s up Adam. Sick little project truck, can’t wait to see how it turns out! You should consider steam cleaning the seats. Not only will steam clean the deep down dirt, it’ll also sanitize.
JO. Adam tell us maybe what i going On with unreleased episode with the contest winner from PM channel. There was Day with PM to win in LA. Seriously, you do not have money to make that true or what. I have asked about that episode couple times maybe it is a time to answer? Was it it fake or what. You said wrote about that year or more that there was pandemy etc . Now we do not have pandemy. So when you will release that? Or maybe I have missed something so you can share link to that episode.
I still think you overpaid for it lol.. But you like beg and d joy it so hopefully it will earn its living giving you a c diesel lots of fun. The flatbed can be useful for carrying camping gear and the means to cook food etc. It’s just the right size to put a air mattress in to sleep on at night, so could be a good getaway vehicle for weekend’s away
Adam ,,Come on mate -your better than that !! spending 6.5k on THAT why would you ,,Its not as iff it would may good content even if you blow it up ffs ,,Love your other videos but buying this wow ,,or ship it back to the Uk ,,oh meant to say ,I'm from your old home town or near by Stoneleigh
The only thing you must do to this truck is put a Suzuki Hayabusa Motorbike engine in it and give it a cleanup and maybe a new paint scheme that would be a Adam thing to do to it 😁😁😁 @adamswords
My wife's relative is a Suzuki dealer here in Japan. Any Kei vehicles they can't sell in Japan due to them being dodgy as F, they usually crush or sell overseas. A lot go to Pakistan. I hope you didn't get a dodgy as F*** truck. 😁
No sir actually to Japanese people anything over 30k miles to them its ragged out , how many cars out here in the states do u see 200k or 400k miles on it and still goin lol so for 30k miles on em bring em over we will run em down to the ground 😅..my acty when I got it to the states came in w 51k miles
