4-Door Mini Pickup Meets New Import Standards

4-Door Mini Pickup Meets New Import Standards PICKUPS Miscellaneous 34-5-35 We spotted this new 4-WD, 4-door mini pickup at the recent Farmfest Show near Redwood Falls, Minn. Made in China, the LZ970-3 is powered by a 4-cyl., water-cooled gas engine that gets 35 to 40 mpg. "It's competitively priced with ATV's and utility vehicles, but you also get a secure cab, air conditioning, 4-WD, and a quiet ride," says dealer Randy Nilson. "One big factor is that as of Dec. 8, 2010, all imported mini pickups have to meet new federal emission standards. The Lil' pickup meets those EPA standards, and it's a new vehicle." Top speed is 62 mph. It has a 55-in. sq. bed with 13 1/2 in. high sides. The base model comes with air conditioning, steering on the left, a roomy cab with bench seats in back and bucket seats in front, off-road wheels and tires, and a rear winch receiver. A deluxe model is available and includes leather seats, front and rear winch receiver, front and rear tube bumper, rollbar, Baja lights, and a CD player. Both models are available with either a short or long bed. The base model sells for about $12,000. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Randy Nilson, Double R Outdoor Products, P.O.
