How the 25-year rule actually works — build month, not model year — plus the 2026–2030 unlock calendar and why newly-eligible kei trucks are the best deals.
What a kei truck really costs in 2026: measured Japan prices for all five models, the exact US duty and fee math, and three real builds priced end to end.
