Why Not a Mini Truck
Mini Trucks are small pickup trucks (LIL Pickup) designed for Off-Highway use in the US. There are several inherent advantages to these small vehicles, and the most obvious has to be their size. The compact size of these vehicles allows them to go almost anywhere, through small city streets, or on narrow country roads. The second biggest advantage of these vehicles is that they have a low cost of ownership. These are a great replacement for other utility vehicles like the golf cart, the ATV, 4-wheeler, Mule, Gator or other more expensive utility vehicles. They are better equipped, more comfortable and safer than other ATVs.

These trucks have thousands of different uses like farm utility vehicles, off-road hunting, maintenance vehicles for schools, university campuses, large factories, shipping yards, theme parks, warehouse facilities, golf courses, large ranches, dairy farms, horse stables, airports, camp grounds, orchards, landscaping, nurseries, movie sets, local municipalities,  security companies; the uses for these trucks is endless. 

Mini trucks are extremely reliable and fuel efficient, combined with comfort, security and protection from the elements makes these vehicles an inexpensive alternative to pickup trucks and utility vehicles.

All of our trucks come with heating and air conditioning, no engine speed governor, AM/FM radio, CD player, locking gas caps and lockable cab, windshield wipers, seat belts, headlights, and a full instrumentation system. These trucks are now legal to drive on Oklahoma streets (with the exception of OK Interstate Highways). If you are from a state other then Oklahoma check your state’s laws regarding mini trucks.

Multipurpose Trucks

Popular with farmers and ranchers, the market for the vehicles has expanded as many states, including Oklahoma, begin to allow them on city roads. Mini trucks became legal on Oklahoma roads (excluding interstates) Nov. 1.

"You can use them on the farm, but Grandma can (also) use them to go into town and buy groceries,” said Rick Opitz, owner of 5 Star Mini Trucks.

Motorists are interested in buying the mini trucks, Opitz said, because of the fuel efficiency and the price — $9,000 to $13,000.

The mini trucks come standard with heat, street tires and AM/FM radio. They are available in 2-door, 2-door extended cab and 4-door styles with a 979cc engine that can reach speeds of 70 miles per hour.

"In today's economy, people are looking for alternatives and this is one of the best ones we've found,” Cole said.

Opitz said 5 Star Mini Trucks is a distributor for eight states. The vehicles have been selling as quickly as the company can get them in the store, Opitz said.

"These are the hottest ticket going in the automotive industry,” Opitz added.
