A lower purchase price in Japan is not a delivered US price. A quote must identify the actual vehicle and the lawful destination pathway before comparing totals.
- Vehicle price, condition, accessories and currency date

- Applicable duties, taxes and brokerage

No percentage saving, currency conversion or import approval is calculated on this page.
The better choice depends
on what the day asks.
Loading space
Start with the shape of the load, side access and the measured opening. Volume does not establish a safe weight.
Ground and routes
Compare clearance, wheelbase, traction equipment and the operating manual. A lifted appearance is not a capability rating or road permission.
Ownership support
Ask who supplies parts, diagnoses faults and performs warranty work. Local service access can matter more than an attractive starting price.
Keep the sources
within reach.

KX / Enclosed regular cab, 4WD, 4-speed automatic
350 kg is maximum cargo loading, not a total occupant-plus-cargo UTV payload field. 4AT does not inherit the high/low transfer or differential lock shown on selected 5MT grades. Towing rating not established in inspected manufacturer sources. A hitch does not establish one.

Cargo bed rating is not total vehicle payload. Leave total payload unknown until exact configuration documentation is supplied. Do not apply premium ProKonvert bed equipment to the starting base price. No configured dealer quote or current stock verified.

1,000 lb box maximum and 1,030 lb total payload are separate concurrent limits. Do not add them. The PDF prints 1,030 lb and 464 kg. Those are not equivalent. Preserve source units and confirm before kg-based sales guidance. Dealer advertisement gives 1,347 lb payload, conflicting with exact HVAC manufacturer guide. Do not import dealer specification copy. This code is not available in California according to the guide. No approval for another market is inferred.
