Anyone drive one of these in Canada during the winter?
These guys drive through some shit.
Ok that's interesting. Now I'm wondering how the transmission will hold up to that kind of driving (I can google that one).
there's a few tradies in my town in canada that have these kei trucks, it seems to work for them.
japan has winter too
Ya just wondering from people who have tried them what they're like on the road in less than ideal conditions. I'll probably consider one of these if/when I ever get a car. But.. there are mountains nearby and it would be nice to be able to go down the forest service roads. Ideal for me is some small pickup around the same price as a kei.
Canada winters are overblown. Unless you're literarily in the middle of a massive snow storm, the roads will be clean and reasonable. None of these f150 are bought for their winter dominance. In fact I've seen more of them in ditches than regular cars.
Overconfidence
Something like 40% of Canadians live below the 45th parallel. Journey sucks at geography, south Detroit would be Windsor Canada.
