Heh heh, I like that lil crew cab! Wonder if I'd fit in there? I know I don't fit in the single cabs.

There are two of those little white Suzuki pickups in this town. Road legal.

I've seen... a half dozen or so of those little Mitsubishi micro-pickups around here in AZ - one was on very large (if I had to guess, 37" ) off-highway tires, the rest I've seen were pretty well stock with 13" P-rated tires.
As far as I can tell... they're not suited to the average American body type. |

Google Wuling. Most of the larger colleges in this state have them for utility vehicles, and they're road legal.
The Wuling cars remind me of the Smart ForTwo though... way too small, and my Escort got nearly the same gas mileage, and was MUCH more comfortable.

our collage is allowed to use them on city streets but is only allowed to cross the state highway that runs through the middle of town, AZ for some reason has some law that allows them, if I lived there I would take advantage of that and start buying them there and selling them in other states, same thing with Canada, the micro trucks like that that are sold around here are for "off road use only" and have to have a slow moving vehicle sign on the back if they are used on the road, but from what I've seen of them they are very well built and drive like any other car, at least the one I took for a test drive, and I feel like I fit just fine at 240lb and 6 feet tall.

They aren't street legal in MN. I've got some height on you Ryan and while I was able to physically fold myself into one my knees and.. well, everything was crammed up against something inside. If the seat on that double cab goes back a little further though...

About the Utility trucks: They aren't street legal in Nebraska either, or else I would have bought the one sitting down on a lot on my way to school. They are awesome, and really handy for utility work on the cheap. For highway speeds, I hear they are not that good economy-wise.
