      For reference, a U.S.-made Honda Civic is 70.9 inches (1800.86 mm) wide.

      A Nissan Clipper Kei Truck is 58 inches (1475 mm) wide.

      A pickup truck smaller than a sedan. You can’t even buy them in the U.S. unless they’re specially imported.

      American vehicles are too big. Just way too big.

        Going into decimal mm really isn’t necessary for anything. No one can be that precise (except milling).

          The person before me did it, and they use commas instead of decimal points, so I assumed it was a standard car measurement in Europe.

        I would love one of those kei trucks for camping. Solid size and I can have a whole set up in the back. Would you happen to know if there’s an American alternative? I’ve looked into some kei trucks and there’s some cheap ones in japan but it would be a fortune to import and I’m not car savvy so I couldn’t do my own repairs.
