Has any one considered a Japanese Mini?

[BugMan]

I have a Suzuki, forgot the year but it's in the 90's. It's a zippy little thing, will climb a near vertical hill. It's tricky getting used to the left handed gear shifting, but not too much of a problem.

What I don't like is the leg room... it's made for small Japanese folks, not typical sized Americans. I'm 5'11" and can't stand to drive it for even short periods of times.

Will probably try to sell it soon, have my sights set on the Kubota 1140.

The new ones do not smoke ... used if they are a little tired, they may.

New are 0 detectable emissions 3'+ from exhaust pipe

The '90s Suzuki you have has the tightest cab. Subaru has the largest.

I'm 6'1" and don't have a problem in the Suz., although I would not want to take it for a 100 mile trip.

The '99 and newer trucks have a larger cab but they still are tight for us larger Americans. Most of the world is not as large as we are.

Build finally completed. 4' or 5' wide models available, 1000 lb. dumping capacity (still have to add a few safety stickers and a different flow control valve)

Load, back up tight to a roll-off, push the button, dump, lower unit, and done

Suzuki and other manufactures make autos and vans on the same chassis as the trucks

Mitsubishi Mini Cab with the extended cab option. This option shortens the box to 5'. They are a little pricey but competitive with a comparably equipped side by side.
