- legitster 2y agoKei trucks: a) Not illegal b) Were not sold in the US because they would never pass US safety requirements c) Can be legally imported and registered after the mandatory 25 year period d) Are being legally imported and not destroying the market for new trucks in any meaningful way
- alamortsubite 2y ago> d) Are being legally imported and not destroying the market for new trucks in any meaningful way This hardly seems like a reasonable point to try to make, given the unlikeliness of any 25 year old vehicle destroying the market for any new one.
- Kon-Peki 2y agoEven so, there are just as many models of "mid-size" trucks for sale in the US as "full-size". Ford has something like 5 different sizes of trucks, and size #3 is their best seller. If a size #0 suddenly showed up at the dealership, there is no reason to believe that it would destroy the market for size #3. But there is every reason to believe that it would be popular!
