      Not even close.

      I’m 99% certain that’s a 2nd Gen Honda Acty. Which means it has at best a .7 liter engine making 45hp.

      The wannabe monster truck at minimum would have a 4.3 V6 making almost 300hp. But the particular spec in the picture typically has the 5.3 V8 at around 355 HP.

      Kei trucks are cool. But they’re like a big golf cart with a flatbed.

        I have a Daihatsu Hijet on my property. Pretty much use it like a quad. Spray paint camo job, 4x4, dump bed, w/ rear locker. Pretty awesome at pulling shit, getting thru muddy spots, etc.

        I’ll say this - that little Hijet is a much, much more capable little rig than my 2014 Taco, let alone the stupid bro-dozer in the picture. I’ll probably bring it with me elk hunting next year so I can load up the bed with elk quarters and crawl out of the bush

            You nailed it. The light weight allows it to float a bit more in the rough stuff.

            Don’t get me wrong, love the Taco but the Hijet is a rockstar all its own.

        Fair!

        Still, I’m under the impression that some of this “trucks” can have surprisingly small engines given their size.

      I own one of these small trucks, a Mitsubishi Minicab. It has a 660cc engine. Nowhere close to the same engine capacity.

        I had a Yamaha fjr1300 motorcycle. The engine in it was almost twice that truck engine

        No this is the social media website called lemmy. If it’s not about games, Linux, or coding you’re gonna get lots of disinformation.
