Mazda T2000

Mazda produced this truck from 1962 to 1974. Little is known about this peculiar three wheeled truck. This is not your ordinary kei cargo vehicle like the Mazda K360 or Mitsubishi Pet Leo, but a full sized truck with three wheels! The cargo space at the back of this vehicle measures around 12 feet.

This truck is big that it can fit a Suzuki Fronte 360 comfortabily on its cargo space! It was also used to transport lumber. Three wheelers as commercial vehicles were popular in Japan during the 1960's. Tomica Limited Vintage released these models in October of 2007 (LV-51a and LV-51b).
