Updated 2026-06-26. kei truck import specialist ships across New Brunswick and the rest of Canada.
Headquartered in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Samurai Trucks fully services every truck — and customizes it to spec if you want — at our shop before shipping it to Fredericton and delivering Canada-wide.
Home to around 63,000 people, Fredericton sits roughly 3,727 km from our Grande Prairie, Alberta shop in a straight line.
A working farm doesn't need a one-ton pickup for half the daily work, and that's the gap a kei truck fills. Around Fredericton, the use cases are the same as on any small-acreage operation: chore truck, fence-line truck, yard truck. Low fuel cost, fits through standard gates, easy to repair. We've been bringing them into New Brunswick for over two decades.
The farm use case is the one a kei truck was literally designed for. In Japan, these trucks live their lives running between rice paddies, vegetable plots, livestock barns, and tool sheds. The translation to a New Brunswick farm operation is direct: chore truck for in-yard work, fence-line patrol, hauling small implements and feed, livestock checks, and the dozens of daily errands that don't need the big diesel.
Around Fredericton, the practical advantages stack: a kei truck fits through every standard farm gate; it carries a few hundred kilograms of payload all day on a small tank of regular gas; it doesn't compact wet ground the way a one-ton does; and it costs a fraction of the equivalent half-ton to keep running. For mixed operations — grain plus a few head of cattle, or specialty crops with seasonal labour — a kei truck is the right answer for most of the daily chore work.
The parts side matters in farm country. We stock parts inventory in Canada and ship across the country, so the worst-case “part needed for harvest” scenario doesn't end with you waiting four to eight weeks for an air-freight package from Japan. That alone is the difference between a working farm vehicle and a curiosity.
Registering a kei truck in Fredericton runs through Service New Brunswick. The standard sequence is: clear federal customs and Transport Canada at the border (kei trucks 15+ years old are import-eligible), complete the NB Motor Vehicle Inspection (MVI) at a licensed inspection station, then plate at the registry counter. The federal 15-year import rule applies the same way it does anywhere in Canada outside Quebec.
Some Fredericton registry agents have processed many kei trucks; others have processed none. If you encounter pushback — an agent who isn't sure how to enter a right-hand-drive Japanese vehicle — that's a paperwork and supervisor-loop-in issue, not a legal barrier. The truck is admissible. Sometimes you wait while the agent loops in a supervisor; sometimes you come back the next day after the file has been reviewed. We don't pretend the Fredericton counter experience is uniform across the province, but it does land successfully for our customers, and we walk every buyer through what to bring.

Atlantic Canada deliveries reach Fredericton by rail-deck through to a regional hub plus a local truck leg. Maritimes deliveries take longer than prairie or BC ones, but they're routine; we ship into the region regularly.
We ship across Canada and have for over two decades. The Fredericton delivery is part of any sale we quote, and we'll route the truck around weather and seasonal road conditions rather than promise an aggressive date we can't keep.
The single biggest determinant of how a kei truck holds up in Fredericton long-term is the parts pipeline behind it. Parts and service run out of our Grande Prairie, Alberta shop and we ship parts across the country — the full catalogue is at parts.html and the New Brunswick-relevant pages link from there. Most Fredericton-area mechanics will install parts you supply, and that's typically the fastest path: we ship the part, your mechanic does the install. For anything we don't stock in Canada, sourcing from Japan is a couple-of-weeks turnaround through our partner network.
If you're stuck on a fitment question or trying to figure out whether a particular part fits your specific chassis (DA63T, DA52T, S100P, HA6, etc.), call us at 780-533-3303 and we'll walk you through it. Jdm / kei vehicle importer, 25+ years deep, talks parts every day.
Buying a kei truck from us is straightforward in the abstract and full of small details in practice, and we walk every Fredericton customer through both. The short version: we keep kei trucks in stock and have more arriving regularly, so depending on what you're after, your truck may already be on the ground or inbound — and for a specific build we'll source it to spec through our Japan network and inspect it before it ships. Either way you take delivery landed-Canada with all duties and taxes already paid. The longer version is the conversation we have on the phone.
We keep kei trucks in stock and have more arriving regularly, so depending on what you're after, your truck may already be here or inbound; for a specific spec we'll source it to order through our Japan network. Either way the order of operations is the same: a quick scoping call to understand the use case, a written quote with landed pricing, a deposit, then delivery to Fredericton — federal duties and taxes already paid, with the MVI step at a New Brunswick inspection station and plating at the registry as the only provincial steps left.
Things we always confirm before deposit, especially for Fredericton customers: that the spec we're proposing actually matches the use case (a 2WD Carry isn't the right truck for a forestry road, and a 4WD low-range Hijet is overkill for a property runabout); that the parts pipeline for the chassis we're picking is healthy; and that the registration path makes sense given the customer's specific situation (some buyers really don't need road registration and we'll say so). That up-front honesty is, frankly, why customers come back and refer their neighbours.
