Kei truck legality by state

Rules vary a lot by state — check yours before you wire money. Every free sample has the full decision depth: an open-road playbook (Texas), an age-based path (Arizona), restricted-but-real routes (Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, South Dakota, Washington, Virginia), and hard blocks (Georgia, New York, California, Illinois, Nevada).

Pick your state, read the sample, confirm it matches your intended use, then get the $49 report (where available) for a clerk packet personalized to your exact vehicle when you're ready to buy.

TexasLikely OK

A real, actionable playbook: authority stack, county VIN quirks, and the paperwork traps that actually stop a sale.

View sample report
ArizonaLikely OK

A second go-state: 25+ year gray-market titling under AAC R17-4-206(A)(2) — what the exemption actually waives, and what it doesn't.

View sample report
FloridaRestricted

A restricted playbook: you can title and plate it, but §316.2122 caps you to roads posted 35 mph or less.

View sample report
TennesseeRestricted

A restricted playbook: Class I OHV registration is the real path, and "medium-speed" is a FMVSS 500 trap that fails stock kei.

View sample report
AlabamaRestricted

A definition-trap playbook: the mini-truck plate's governor/weight rule fails most stock kei — the 25-year title path is the one to check first.

View sample report
GeorgiaLikely Blocked

A don't-buy brief: why the state cancels plates on sight, and every loophole sellers pitch (and why each one fails).

View sample report
New YorkLikely Blocked

A don't-buy brief: two DMV pages, one VTL citation, and the residency trap that turns an out-of-state title into a countdown.

View sample report
CaliforniaLikely Blocked

A don't-buy brief: the FMVSS + CARB wall blocks stock kei trucks on-highway and off, and every workaround fails.

View sample report
South DakotaRestricted

A restricted playbook: the Mini Trucks procedure titles it as an ATV with a motorcycle plate and no interstate — not truck plates.

View sample report
WashingtonRestricted

A call-before-buy brief: Customs-cleared ordinary titling is the real path — NEV/MEV and WATV forms don't cover a gasoline kei.

View sample report
IllinoisLikely Blocked

A don't-buy brief: the state reads its own law to bar kei trucks and has been revoking plates already issued — no fix bill exists yet.

View sample report
VirginiaRestricted

A procedure-not-statute playbook: the HS-7 Box 1 path, why HB219 isn't law, and the LSV workaround that doesn't qualify.

View sample report
NevadaLikely Blocked

A don't-buy brief: Nevada's own DMV guide says comply, export, or destroy — no 25-year street exception is published.
