Hunting using a mini truck is really fun. However, not all states have already legalized the use of mini trucks but it’s still certain that this type of vehicle has many uses. It’s the favorite when it comes to fuel efficiency and somehow the standard in fuel consumption. Another good thing is that it is very affordable since these are used vehicles exported from Japan. It is also known as Kei Trucks.
These trucks are a regular fare among predators. Measuring merely 4 ft and 6 inches wide by 10 ft and 10 in . long by 5 ft and 8 inches high. It’s very easy to maneuver around trees, shrubs, branches and other obstacles when used in search because of its compact size. In other words, the hunter can take this inside a dense forest to stalk their own prey.
The mini truck is also equipped with a four-wheel drive making it tough on plowing through mud and climbing steep inclines. Whether the hunter will encounter rivers or even hills, you can rest assured that this particular vehicle won’t get stuck on a few mire.
The truck bed measures around 4 ft and 1 by 6 inches with numerous choices. It has a payload of 1200lbs and can tow even higher loads. In addition, it has 660 cc 45hp engine which can run up to 75mph. By the way, its speed is not its unique feature. It weighs 1500lbs. The wheelbase measures 6 ft and 3 inches. It generates 60mpg.
And lastly it has a guide transmission.
Between 2007 and 2010, 15 states already enacted laws legalizing the use of mini trucks.

Why Delivery Businesses Want Mini Trucks
Because of the growth of population in Japan cities, there are many narrow streets connecting the highways of the metropolitan areas. As a result of dense population and scrambling space all over town, the municipalities ordered their respective places to make their street as narrow as they can. With many smaller cars on the road, the Japanese automakers have become very adept at creating versatile smaller vehicles that can carry heavy stuff and travel smoothly on narrow roads. Making 4 x 4 mini trucks that can easily haul a few hundred kilos and still being able to manage fuel efficiency is the goal that makes these Japan mini-trucks possible.
Throughout Canada, there are also individuals that find smaller maneuverable trucks to be ideal vehicle for their delivery business. Importing the vehicles to Canada, there are only a few people who are making the small, yet very versatile Japanese Kei trucks available to the North American buyer. This vehicle is ideal for florists, bakers, and farmers that are taking their goods to market. But for smaller roads and narrow streets of Japan, a 4 x 4 mini truck can easily navigate the streets. In Canada, mini-truck buyers want the added 4 wheel drive feature of this vehicle in order to drive in snow conveniently.

2010 Mercedes GLK350
In the east side of Hudson River opposite of West Point spend most of the three miles or 20-30 mile per hour range during normal days.
It seems reasonable since there is a one lane Trail that starts at 400ft, winding drop from the upper realm of the Hudson Highlands down to the river’s edge through a series of one lane switch-backs and S-curves with a mountain on one side and a straight drop on the other.
This type of course can be travelled smoothly if you’re in a sports car and want to push the envelope a bit and run in the 50 – 60 range to see how well it handles on very tight curves.
That is the category which generally rules out trucks, SUVs, and most regular sedans. Mercedes came out with a solution and launched Mercedes GLK-350, a mini truck with four wheel drive and a handling of a sports car.
This is a type of vehicle with aggressive, large, forward leaning grill of a racer and 20-inch, seven-spoke, and mag wheels. This model doesn’t have the soft curves and flowing lines.
It has sharp angles and elbows, a rakish rear rather than the standard box found on station wagons or gentle incline of most small SUVs.
In addition, GLK runs on rugged roads with ease because of independent suspension and traction controls which can run on the meanest and roughest road in town.

2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
It's incompatible but not unusual, because when the cold weather really bites, the city of Kiruna becomes a playing field for Europe's automotive development engineers. The local hotels are littered with men in garish jackets that bear names like Bosch, Continental and Mercedes. And it's impossible to drive for more than an hour without spotting a top-secret prototype bedecked in camouflage clothing. If you're a spy photographer and not afraid of the cold, you can visit this tiny town on the fringe of the Arctic Circle called Shangri-La.
Driving a 563-horsepower supercar like the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in the ice and snow should be easy, don't you think? No one else up here under the Northern Lights seems to be having any problems. It won't be like driving that Ferrari F430 Spider across Italy like I did a few years ago, or even like whipping that Ferrari 612 Scaglietti across India (with a roll of toilet paper in hand almost all the way), but it should be doable, right?
We crawl out of Kiruna, a city of around 18,000 people. Sweden's most northerly city built its fortune on the production of iron ore, but more recently it's diversified into ecotourism and even space exploration — Kiruna has signed a deal with Virgin Galactic to house Spaceport Sweden. It would be easy to imagine the astronauts becoming confused, as so desolate is the countryside that you could be forgiven for thinking you'd already reached the moon.
We're running on standard winter tires, similar to those used throughout Europe at this time of year. Studded tires would be more sensible for the conditions, but they'd provide less of a challenge for the stability control system and less of a test of my manhood. Today, concentration and finesse top the agenda.

2011 Chevrolet Silverado
When you think of hybrid, you think of both fuel economy and energy efficiency. Travelling around 16.7mpg is not bad but we expect 40mpg for a hybrid model.
In the mid 2000, GM entered a co-development with BMW and Chrysler to create a hybrid model. It is a twin-mode hybrid powertrain. There were lots of issues when GM launched SUV and Hummer model by 2007 and the recession and unpredictable prices of gas triggered the start of this hybrid model. Truck buyers decided to go on hybrid because of fuel economy. The starting price of this model is $40,000. Afterwards, BMW and other automotive manufacturer launched their own hybrid though all of them had a hard time marketing this one.
GM claims that Silverado can get up to 30mph on electric power not to mention the fuel power. Silverado Hybrid V8’s active fuel management system shuts down has the ability to shut down the 8 cylinders of the truck to conserve gas. The regenerative brakes are a little bit grabby and hard to modulate smoothly, a common characteristic of such energy-capturing systems, but the driver acclimates easily enough. Electric power steering doesn’t draw undue attention to itself, but we’re not fans of the thin-rimmed, old-school GM steering wheel in this truck. Something meatier, with a softened radius on the leading edge, would be appreciated.
