Choose the Honda Acty When…

Choose the Honda Acty for the widest configuration selection and the deepest reliability track record. The Acty E07A engine has a cult following among kei truck owners for its long-term durability. Parts are widely available, and finding a qualified mechanic familiar with the Acty is easier.

Choose the Mitsubishi Minicab When…

Choose the Mitsubishi Minicab if you need an automatic transmission — the Minicab is one of the few kei trucks available in automatic. The electric dump bed is also a significant advantage for operators who need to move material frequently without manual effort. AC and power windows on the Minicab trim it out nicely.

Our Verdict

Manual-transmission dump truck buyers will find both excellent. If automatic transmission or power-operated dump beds are on your list, the Minicab is the clear winner in this comparison.
