Using a Kei Truck off the road in Maine
Maine keeps Kei Trucks off public roads, so they live on private land. That's where they shine:
- Farms and ranches
- Hunting land and camps
- Golf courses
- Solar farms
- Orchards and vineyards
- Campgrounds
- Large private properties and job sites
Since no Kei Truck can be driven on Maine roads, a newer off-road truck makes as much sense here as a 25-year-old import. Plan on a trailer to move it between properties. The off-road guide covers tires, lifts and what to check.
