Comparison left vs right for a craftsman who doesnt know which one he should buy:
-
l/r same bed size
-
r lower bed for way easier loading/unloading
-
r less likely to crash
-
r less fuel consumption and costs
-
r less expensive to repair
-
r easy to park
-
r easy to get around in narrow places like crowded construction sites or towns
-
r not participating in road arms race
-
l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.
So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.
But what about cargo capacity? The beds look pretty much the same size, although I’m sure allowed weight is drastically different
The main post claims the beds are the same size. Technically speaking in terms of volume the kei truck wins due to lower bed height (if we are using max height to pass bridges as our standard). As for weight I’m pretty sure the left truck wins out on total capacity. That said the kei truck is still a remarkably useful minitruck and i wish they had a bigger market in the west.
