Questions
Asked about the San Joaquin Valley.
Can I drive a kei truck on the road in the San Joaquin Valley?
California registers an imported kei truck for the road only after it is modified and tested under CARB's direct import program, which the DMV says may be expensive or impossible for a vehicle over two years old. The California page gives the full rule.
Can I use one on a California farm?
Yes, on private land. California registers a kei truck for the road only after CARB's direct import program, so here it is farm equipment for private land closed to the public, farms and closed work sites.
What about a newer truck governed to 25 mph?
It enters the country as off road equipment, governed to 25 mph. In California it works private land closed to the public, farms and closed work sites. The California page has the rest of the rule.
