Mini Trucks Offer a New Driving Alternative

If you wish win the fight against high cost and possibly some winter blues, look at buying Japanese mini trucks. Duane Hunt, founder of Flatlanders Mini Trucks Sales, recently got into the business of selling these Japanese trucks. What makes these trucks so special is the fact they can be used for heavy driving as well as every day and street driving.

"They are practical, reliable, economical and affordable," said Hunt.

Hunt believes that these vehicles come from the class of 50s and 60s. As on date, you would find a lot of these trucks having 660 cc engines, a touch more than what is used in running motorcycles. In essence, this then becomes one of the most fuel-effective alternatives.

Robin Holma, owner of High Energy Performance Trucks in Estevan, introduced these Japanese mini trucks to Hunt. Robin believes that these trucks offer the advantages as mentioned below.

1)Easy to operate
2)Low maintenance costs
3)Efficiency in fuel consumption and use.

"I took one for a week and drove it pretty much everywhere, and it cost me about $14 in fuel," said Holma. Some of the Japanese manufacturers include Daihatsu, Suzuki, Mitsubishi and Subaru.

A lot of people who have used these trucks vouch for the fuel efficiency of these trucks. Some people have even claimed that these trucks give them a mileage of about 22 kilometers per liter, something that was out of thoughts for locally made trucks.

Apart from them being fuel efficient and friendly on the environment, people believed that they are absolutely super-cool to drive. You could get these trucks in a cost range of about $6000 to $12000. With costs you would also find that these trucks are designed to carry variable payloads and are fitted with their own accessories.

Descriptions and pictures of the mini trucks are received prior to ordering. This is indeed a safe process because all these trucks are serviced and on arrival, are checked for their safety.

Prior to being sold, each of these trucks is approved by Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI). All the accessories like the cooling system, transmission and other performance metrics are checked for these trucks upon arrival.

This, Hunt believes makes it very easy for people to get these trucks and start using them. With warranties for 30 days, and an extra warranty available for a year, surely these trucks cannot miss your eye.
