Updated 2026-06-26. Canada's first JDM/kei vehicle importer ships across Quebec 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 Sherbrooke and delivering Canada-wide.
Home to around 130,000 people, Sherbrooke sits roughly 3,431 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 Sherbrooke, 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 Quebec for over two decades.
On a working operation near Sherbrooke, a kei truck earns its place doing the unglamorous 80%: the in-yard runs, the fence-line checks, the feed and tool hauls that don't justify starting the big diesel. It carries a few hundred kilograms on a small tank of regular gas, fits through standard gates, and is light enough that it doesn't chew up a wet field the way a one-ton does.
The economics are the quiet part. A 660cc truck costs a fraction of an equivalent half-ton to fuel and maintain, and adding one to a Quebec farm usually extends the life of the existing pickup rather than replacing it — the kei takes the daily chore miles, the big truck stays fresh for trailering and highway work.
Parts are what make it a tool instead of a hobby. We run parts and service out of our Grande Prairie, Alberta shop and ship across the country, so a part needed mid-harvest isn't an automatic four-to-eight-week wait on air freight. For anything not stocked in Canada, sourcing through our Japan network is a couple-of-weeks turnaround.
Registering a kei truck in Sherbrooke runs through the SAAQ. Quebec is the one Canadian province that enforces a stricter 25-year provincial rule for road registration: the truck must be at least 25 years old (built in 2001 or earlier as of 2026) before the SAAQ will plate it. The federal 15-year import rule still governs whether the truck can be brought into Canada in the first place — so a 15-year-eligible truck can be imported into Quebec for private-property use even if it can't yet be plated for the highway.
The road-registration step itself is a SAAQ mechanical inspection at a SAAQ-mandated centre, after which Quebec plates can be issued. For private-property use in Sherbrooke — sugarbush, orchard, hunt camp, vineyard, hobby farm — neither the 25-year rule nor the SAAQ inspection apply. Our Quebec legal guide walks through the long version.
If you encounter a counter agent in Sherbrooke who hasn't processed an imported kei truck before, don't panic; that's a paperwork and supervisor question, not a legal barrier. As Canadian kei truck specialist, we walk our Quebec customers through what an inspector and SAAQ counter typically want to see.
Ontario and Quebec deliveries are cross-country freight — rail-deck through to the closest hub plus a final-mile truck leg into Sherbrooke. The total transit is normally a couple of weeks rather than a few days, but we'll give you a concrete quote and timeline before any deposit is taken.
We ship across Canada and have for over two decades. The Sherbrooke 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 Sherbrooke 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 Quebec-relevant pages link from there. Most Sherbrooke-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. 25+ year kei truck 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 Sherbrooke 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 Sherbrooke — federal duties and taxes already paid, with the SAAQ inspection step at a Quebec inspection station and plating at the registry as the only provincial steps left.
Things we always confirm before deposit, especially for Sherbrooke 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.
