us auto industry has reletively higher crash saftey requirements. part of the reason why everythings so damn big.

the kei trucks are basically rear end death traps if you hit US sized vehicles.

its why the only ones you can legally drive in some states are the ones that pass the 25 year car import law.

some areas explicitly ban it (e.g NYC i believe)

EU: Your truck is unsafe because it is unusually large and has razor sharp edges at head height.

US: Your truck is unsafe because it is too small to withstand a direct hit from one of our super safe giant axe head shaped cars.

Yeah, I swapped the third cupholders for the pistol holster on my dodge.

I'm thinking of buying a ford F1-9001 for my next truck. They have quick-access assault rifle holsters.
