Kei Truck Dealers in Colorado

The Kei Truck Scene in Colorado

Mile Hi Mini Trucks in Commerce City, just north of Denver, sells new and pre owned kei trucks including the current Daihatsu Hijet with a CVT automatic and push button 4WD. That newer drivetrain is a meaningful upgrade at altitude: the CVT keeps the tiny 660cc engine in its power band on grades that would have an older three speed hunting for gears.

Colorado allows kei trucks with restrictions, and the state's mix of ranch land, mountain property, and ski town side streets is close to the ideal habitat for these vehicles. Snow duty is a legitimate use case here. With 4WD engaged and a set of proper tires, a kei truck will out crawl vehicles three times its price up an unplowed driveway.
