I tried one out...it was very comfortable, and a pure joy to drive. It was a five speed. I looked at the speedometer ...I was doing 120kmh,and it was doing it easily I thought, "this is nice", so I slowed down some...that's well over 70 mph. I looked at the shift stick....Hey!!!! I was still in fourth gear. What is the speed limit on the interstate...70? and what is the minimum speed limit on the interstate 40? It appears our legislators are like Wall Street. They don't really care about us little people. Slip an Opel rear-end under one of these and I guarantee...they will easily top 120 mph. Come on legislators...get your heads out of the sand, and help us little people.
I love these trucks. I had a problem finding parts until I found a community of people that had them. Check out http://www.minitrucktalk.com tons of parts and people there to help everyone.
I was very excited initially, but the 25 mph restriction of the EPA makes them unuseable on highways. Federal mandates to limit the top speed to 25 mph negates the opportunity to make them street legal, you will still have to have a slow moving vehicle placard to operate them on streets. But you can remove the plate welded to act as a shifter gate and they will travel up to 55 mph, but expect a visit from law enforcement when you do so. The legislation means absolutely nothing, they are giving us rights to do what we already could, only now it can be excise taxed. I will just buy a cab for my tractor and skip all the legislation.
