Using a Kei Truck off the road in Louisiana
Louisiana limits where a Kei Truck can go on the road, but there's plenty of work for one off it:
- Farms and ranches
- Hunting land and camps
- Golf courses
- Solar farms
- Orchards and vineyards
- Campgrounds
- Large private properties and job sites
For land that never needs the road, a newer off-road truck is worth a look too. The off-road guide covers tires, lifts and what to check.
