Questions

Why are kei trucks difficult to register elsewhere?

Many states apply road rules written for full sized vehicles, or treat imports as off-road only. Montana registers them as light vehicles.

Does the model year charge apply?

Yes. A kei truck counts as a light vehicle, so one that is four model years old or newer carries the $295 charge.
