I hate to shoot that down, but it does not work as you say… only in a blue moon is the auction sheet in the glove box of the imported vehicle. The Japanese title is never in the vehicle. We have imported well over 7000 Mini trucks so our feedback on this issue is qualified feedback :-)
@ Not sure this reply was meant for me or my comment. My comment only dealt with the date in the description and denoted verbally in the video. My comment didn’t denote anything about the vehicles
I enjoyed the newspaper even though we can read it and loved the Isuzu Elf and the 99 Hijet. The Act with the cover was great but I wish the cover was black. I know you're busy but it's great to see you still doing the videos. Great explanation at the beginning of your video as to why you do NOT work on Kei vehicles if they were not purchased from you.

Hi Michael, thanks for watching and great question. I've seen KEI trucks at the auction in JP for sale with 310k kilometers. That said, they were probably highway kilometers and a fastidiously maintained truck:) Tony/MMT
Hi there, thanks for watching. We're open Wed - Sat from 9am to 5pm. You can come anytime during those hours and as long as you use an acceptable form of payment (Bank Check, Official Check, Cash) you can leave with the vehicle...no problem:) Great question and thanks again for watching...Tony/MMT
Hi Johnathan, thank you for watching our video. We'd have to price it and service it, then depending on whether or not you are long distance customer, (depends on if you come here in person) we'll either take a deposit and do a You tube video or you can pay for it and take it with you. Thanks for the interest in our trucks:)
Thank you for watching...We love Hondas also...Honda doesn't think outside of the box...they burned the box out in the parking lot and then made their own KEI truck:) Tony/MMT
Good morning, thanks for watching our video and for your follow up questions… A mini truck will in theory fit inside an 8 foot bed of a truck. We used to do it back in the day. It’s not all that advisable. Actually, just scratch it off the list and bring a trailer. You will feel much more at peace when you are trailing your mini truck instead of having it in the bed of your pick up truck :-)
Thank you for watching our video… Homeland security/customs will only clear a vehicle when it is 25 years old to the month. What this means is, the vehicle cannot be manufactured less than 25 years old down to the month… For this reason, we will only be getting in a 2000 year model Around March or April at the absolute earliest. The devil is in the details… Customs agents will sometimes insist that your vehicle was made in a later month even when you have proof that it was made in an earlier month. Because of this, we tend to play it safe because the rule of thumb is that Customs is always right and the Importer is always wrong. :-) thanks for the great question! Tony/MMT.
Hey there, thank you for watching our video and for your question! That's a totally reasonable request...it just can't be done at this point in the process. A Japanese mini truck doesn't have the year anywhere on the vehicle. Not on the brake lenses...nowhere. This is a video of the trucks that just rolled off the ship so we don't have any VIN information paired up with the internal paperwork information. Year and back office info to follow:) Thanks again...
I know...sometimes I don't know how I make in this world. I do certain things well (like importing nice mini trucks)...only to make the biggest no brainer mistakes on other things. I'd like to say that I'll finally pull it all together but I've been this way for as long as I can remember so, I doubt it:)
Date on title and in video May be a little off

What's the most miles you've seen on a Mini truck?
Hi Michael, thanks for watching and great question. I've seen KEI trucks at the auction in JP for sale with 310k kilometers. That said, they were probably highway kilometers and a fastidiously maintained truck:) Tony/MMT
If I were to show up on your lot, can I purchase that day and leave with the unit?

So... what will it take to get the "troop transport" on some of the other ones?

What’s the average weight of one in a 4x4 and would it fit in a 8’ bed of an F350 ? Or would I need to bring a trailer? Thanks
