Half of the YouTube comments are like "yeah well they're not road legal in the US" which entirely misses the point. It's not like that's some kind of cosmic truth that can never be changed. It just means the law is dumb as well

They're legal in a ton of states. They're only actually outright banned in 2 states, and mixed rules in 19 others. The other 28 states don't have any laws on them.

Which isn't even true

Some states have made them illegal for use on roads (in various ways like just no highways or all roads in general)

It varies from state to state

And yeah it can be changed and I really hope it does as they're great little trucks

In my home state they're perfectly legal as long as they're imported at least 25 years after they were made
