Import laws and crash regs have made it difficult for automakers to do, but affordable mini trucks are finally coming to the US.
These will be manufactured at the Toyota plant in Indiana. Only catch is these will be fleet only at first.

Toyota notes that the Kei-01 is "designed to meet applicable low-speed vehicle federal safety requirements," which is one of the main hurdles when it comes to selling these mini-trucks in the States. Top speed will be limited to just 25 mph, meaning this little thing ain't for highways

The catch is that, for now at least, the Kei-01 will be available as a fleet-only vehicle. Fleet sales will be handled through Toyota's dealers, but you won't see them on the lot.

I'm sure there will be a chip mod to bypass this.

Going to be years before they are available to the public but by then you could probably get some good used fleet stock ones.
At least its a positive step. Hopefully they aren't EPA'd into oblivion.

More than likely it is just a legal limit. Meaning you can't legally drive them on roads like controlled access or higher speed.
So just being on the road is the illegal part and not necessarily the speed.

What a piece of shite
This thing better be way less than a SXS. Only use would be putting around a plant of some sort or job site.
