“High Value” Mini Trucks Imported From Japan
Kevin Gaumitz of Motorcycle Warehouse in Portland, Oregon, recently contacted FARM SHOW to say the company he does marketing for specializes in lightly used mini trucks and camper vans imported from Japan.
“We import several different brands of used mini trucks for off-road use. They’re really nice trucks and are a great value,” says Gaumitz. “These trucks are great for farm use as they sell for a fraction of the cost of a side-by-side utility vehicle, and are made to last a lot longer. They have much more to offer at a fraction of the cost.”
He says Motorcycle Warehouse was founded by Harris Katz in 2007, who began selling motorcycles and accessories while focusing on great customer service and low prices. Gaumitz joined the business a short while ago. “We want farmers to know about these low-priced, awesome machines. We think they’re more reliable than a UTV and fun to drive,” he says.
Transparency is important to the company. “Many companies advertise their trucks at a low price, but when you visit their website you find the trucks are different than the ones advertised and usually sell for a lot more money. The price listed on our website is truly the price you pay. We update our inventory every week to make sure our website has the most up-to-date content.”
Prices for their trucks start at about $4,000 for models that have seen more use, while really nice ones sell for as little as $6,000, says Gaumitz.
Their mini trucks can be ordered with 2 or 4-WD and with an automatic or manual transmission. They come with a 3-cyl., 660 cc gas engine, cab, heater, and bed.
Some models are available with an electric/hydraulic-operated dump bed. Examples include the 4-WD Subaru Sambar 550 cc and the Suzuki Carry 660 cc, which sell for $4,750 and $5,500, respectively.
Gaumitz says they can customize the trucks with offroad tires or lift kits.
The company also sells Pajero mini sports utility vehicles, Japanese loader tractors, and camper vans.
