The newer lane

The KF and EPA.

Never named, an unnamed family of its size runs 2016 to 2026

Never named. Three unnamed 658 cc injected mini truck families are certified from model years 2016, 2017 and 2018 to 2026. The KF, K6A, R06A and S07B are all 658 cc, so the public data cannot say which.

No certificate names the KF, so a truck with it built after 31 October 2001 waits for its 25th birthday unless EPA's records tie its engine to one of the unnamed families certified for 2016 to 2026.

Certified power 21.07 to 29.9 kW.

A truck under 25 can come in only as governed off road equipment, and only if its engine family held an EPA nonroad certificate for that model year. No kei engine family was certified for mini trucks before model year 2010, so a truck built after 31 October 2001 and before model year 2010 has no federal door until its 25th birthday.
