Cape-Ape mini trucks boast an enviable list of features and are superior to any other vehicle of their type. Standard 4x4 and manual transmissions make these vehicles perfect for off-road use or slogging through drenched fields.  The drop-down side and rear gates on the bed are ideal for loading and off-loading product, and with a carrying capacity of 1,400 pounds at low speed, these trucks are set to haul some impressive cargo!  Heaters are standard in the two-seat, fully-enclosed cabs, and some are also available with air conditioning to make them truly year-around comfortable.  Cape-Ape mini trucks are also user-friendly with normal vehicle maintenance requirements and excellent fuel economy.

The Japanese have been manufacturing Mini Trucks since the early 1960s for agricultural and on-road use.
