Kei Truck Dealers in North Carolina

The Kei Truck Scene in North Carolina

North Carolina has three dealers spread across the state's geography. Mayberry Mini Trucks in Mount Airy serves the Carolinas with trucks aimed at farm, property, and off road use. Mars Mini Trucks, family owned and thirty minutes north of Asheville in Mars Hill, imports directly from Japan. In the Triangle, Top Secret RTP in Durham mixes kei trucks with collector JDM cars and builds custom 4x4 Hijets, with fleet sales and Japan side sourcing through Trademaster.

That spread means most North Carolinians are within two hours of a kei dealer, which is rare outside Texas. The state allows kei trucks with restrictions, and the split personality of the market shows it: mountain property owners want stock workhorses while the Durham crowd is building lifted show trucks.
