Many US states have laws preventing people from registering these kei class trucks.
For example, https://dmv.ny.gov/registration/how-register-imported-vehicle
On that page
Is there a reason for the ban related to how the car is built or designed, or is it politics?
I think any person who has a hand in making those laws would say it's for safety. Though I also think many people looking at it and comparing it to other vehicles that are allowed would call it politics/corruption/stupidity. I personally think it's politics
Politics. If you can register a motorcycle or atv, there's zero excuses for not being able to register a light truck like a kei truck. Honestly they're basically industrial grade golf carts.
