Flatbed
The classic kei truck. A two seat cab and a flat bed with three drop sides.
The work
What a Flatbed is for.
Everyday hauling
Tools, bales, coolers and lumber load from three sides at tailgate height.
Property and estate
A small footprint that turns around in a driveway and parks in a shed.
Hunting and land
Light on soft ground and narrow on a two track, with room for a stand and a cooler.
What we look for
The makers and the drive.

Found as 2WD or 4x4. Many 4x4 trucks carry a low range, and some grades a locking rear differential.
A road truck comes in on its age only at 25 years or older, which today means built in October 2001 or earlier. Read its manufacture date and its engine against the federal rules before you buy.
The bed
Know what fits.
For scale, the maker's own figures for its current model. An older truck's bed is close but not the same, so we measure the actual truck before you buy it.
