Can I own one here
Owning one in Duchesne County.
On your own land, yes
Owning a kei truck and working it on a ranch, a farm, a mine or private property does not depend on a road title. Some states still ask for a title or an off road registration.
A 25 year truck on the road
Road use with limits. Utah registers kei class trucks as novel vehicles and a novel vehicle equipped to the street-legal standard may run on Utah roads at up to 50 miles per hour, never on an interstate.
A newer governed truck
Off highway vehicle. Registered as a novel vehicle, which Utah governs under its off-highway vehicle chapter. The division may issue a title.

How to import a mini truck, step by step.
A newer off road truck never lands in California. It comes in through Tacoma or by way of Houston.
Trucks travel in containers, one to a 20 foot box with room for parts or three to a 40 foot box.
Road miles are an estimate, the straight line times 1.2.
The ground
Duchesne County, counted.
5 active surface mines and quarries work Duchesne County's ground. Duchesne County has 898 farms and 510 cattle operations, by the 2022 Census of Agriculture. Farms in Duchesne County hold 30,138 acres of woodland.
Importing a kei truck
The essentials, in short.
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.
Two lanes
A road truck must be 25 years old by its own build date. A newer truck comes in only as governed off road equipment with a certified engine.
The 25 percent duty
Every kei truck pays the 25 percent truck duty at the port, whatever its age.
The paperwork
The customs entry and the two federal declarations, DOT Form HS-7 and EPA Form 3520-1, travel with the truck to your title office.
The title
Keep every stamped paper with the truck. Your state title office asks to see them.
