    It doesn’t lol. Kei trucks max out at like 500-600lb load.

      That’s not true I’ve put easily 1200lbs in a kei truck bed, it just depends on the make.

        Kei cars/trucks/vans are limited to the following requirements to be categorized as such per Japanese regulations:

        Length − up to 11.2 ft Width − up to 4.9 ft Height − up to 6.6 ft Engine capacity − up to 660 ccs Power − up to 63 hp Capacity − up to 4 passenger seats Load-carrying capacity − should not exceed 771.6 pounds

        1200 is technically possible. But it’s past designed brake, suspension, transmission capacity of any Kei truck. I’d urge you to use caution if ever doing it again. Wouldn’t go over 20 mph if you can even reach it at that weight.

          I definitely don’t disagree with you on transmission and breaking. You can do 35 with 1200lbs of load but a Toyota Hilux will do a better job and I would not drive a Kai truck on the highway regardless of what’s in the bed, your knees are a few inches of thin sheet steel construction from the outside world.
