Questions

Asked about the Shenandoah Valley.

Can I drive a kei truck on the road in the Shenandoah Valley?

Virginia has no mini truck class and no kei restriction. It titles and registers an imported vehicle 25 years or older on its export certificate and federal entry papers, like any other import. The Virginia page gives the full rule.

What work suits a kei truck in the Valley?

Barn and pasture work, the orchard rows and the run down a farm lane. 65 percent of people in these counties live outside urban areas.

What about a newer truck governed to 25 mph?

It enters the country as off road equipment, governed to 25 mph. In Virginia it works farms, private land, job sites and designated public highways posted 25 mph or less in localities that have authorized utility vehicles by ordinance. The Virginia page has the rest of the rule.
