Mini trucks??
Doest anyone have experiance with those Japanese Susuki mini trucks. Are they reliable, I see you can by lift kits for them and run them with a track system as well. I thought they might be the ticket for running trails looking for tracks while cougar hunting.

This web site will provide a bit of information about the trucks. I owned one since 2004 and it is twice as good as any UTV on the market for half the cost.

PWN Have you ever used one on tracks. Here in Canada you can buy a track system for them. This would be great for running trails in the snow. Do you have a gas or diesel engine? I think the diesel would be needed for running tracks.

Here in MT they are street legal. Lots of them once gas hit $4. They can be had from about $2800-5000 (or more). They tend to be okay for dirt and gravel and offroading across the range. In the mud and snow they are basically junk. In fact, in the winter these things get put away and when the grass starts to get green they come out.

I would never compare them to an ATV but I think on a trail system on tracks they would do well.

Better not be over about 5'6" to drive one.

I used one for a summer working at a golf course. Fun to drive, efficient and carried a decent amount in the bed. But not really any power and got stuck a lot when the ground was wet.
