Where can I drive a Kei?

States very.... South Dakota licenses them as a ATV and thus can be driven on all but the interstates. we even use them as a rural mail delivery vehicles. I have heard some states license them for all road use and some do not allow them on the roads unless as a farm equipment with a slow moving vehicle triangle.

How big is a Kei?

About 2/3 the length and 3/4 the width of a Dodge Dakota pickup.

The pickup box is approximately 52" wide by 76" long. The wheel wells are under the box so the box is flat inside. All standard box pickups have sides and end gate that fold down or comes off to make a flat bed. Some dump body models have solid sides and the end gate may swing out from the top or drop down.

Everybody's driving style and use is different but some have gotten up to 50 mpg.
