The ‘kei’ cars and trucks are growing in popularity in the U.S. But many states have explicitly banned them in recent years. A bill at the statehouse would allow them on Colorado roads.
Well the larger trucks are exempt from the safety regulations is the reason it plays out that way. The spirit of the law I think is that they have a special use case and aren’t supposed to be the default vehicle someone would be driving. But it’s a loophole probably written in by the manufacturers themselves and that’s just how it was billed to whatever legislator that signed it.

US: Your truck is unsafe because it is too small to withstand a direct hit from one of our super safe giant axe head shaped cars.
No pre installed firearms… Very unsafe…

Yeah, I swapped the third cupholders for the pistol holster on my dodge.
I’m thinking of buying a ford F1-9001 for my next truck. They have quick-access assault rifle holsters.
Get the Ferd F-teen Thousand
Reminds me of an old NES game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoadBlasters
