Golf carts are great vehicles and can be a low maintenance solution. To
someone like Gene, who has mentioned having a farm pick-up truck, and having
problems with keeping it going at times, japanese mini-trucks may be a
viable solution.

They are becoming popular around here on larger farms and are replacing golf
carts, 4-wheelers and "Gators" in hunt clubs and other such venues. I have a
few friends that own them and they are satisfied with them esp. vs. their
atvs. The advantages are an enclosed cab, heat, windshield wipers, sometimes
a tilt bed but always a huge utility bed with drop down sides, 4-wheel drive
and a very efficient 3 cylinder gasoline engine. They come with no end of
possible configurations.

They are too large to putter around between raised beds but they definitely
have utility where load hauling or longer distances are the norm.

Here is one site importing them by the container, but as they catch on you
will be able to find people closer who will sell individual vehicles. Google
will find those dealers. http://www.japaneseminitrucks.com/
