Frequently asked questions
Are Kei Trucks street legal in South Carolina?
Yes. No Kei law, no inspection and no special road class. A 25-year import titles and registers like any truck and can use all public roads. That applies to trucks at least 25 years old. Trucks sold for off-road use only can't be titled for the road. Read the South Carolina Kei Truck laws before you buy.
How much does a Kei Truck cost in South Carolina?
Prices at the South Carolina dealer we list run from $6,950 to $22,950, with a median of $8,950. The 25-year-old imports run $6,950 to $17,450, and the newer off-road-only ones run $19,950 to $22,950. Add sales tax, title and registration on top, and see the cost guide for the rest.
