Overview:
  • For years, states have struggled with titling Japanese mini trucks, often classifying them as motorcycles or ineligible imported vehicles.
  • The confusion arises from the 25-year exemption for import documents, which exempted certain vehicles from importation rules but didn’t address their titling.
  • Some states are now pushing for laws to allow these vehicles on the road due to their popularity, including models like the Nissan Skyline GTR.
  • Federal opposition exists, as some argue these vehicles are unsafe, leading to legal disputes over whether they should be allowed on the road.
States Involved:
  • Texas and Colorado are two states attempting to pass laws that would make titling these vehicles possible.
  • Federal government has filed lawsuits to block these efforts, citing safety concerns.
Key Points:
  • The 25-year exemption applied to certain imported vehicles but did not ensure that these vehicles could be legally registered.
  • Many people want to drive these vehicles, but legal challenges remain.
  • If a state doesn’t allow registration, you can’t legally drive the vehicle.
