Built on Passion.
Driven by Quality.
Since 2002, we've been obsessed with Japanese mini trucks. Our owner personally inspects vehicles in Japan — if we wouldn't own it ourselves, we won't sell it to you. Period.
Personal Inspections in Japan
If the owner isn't in Japan personally selecting vehicles, our staff are. If it arrives not as described, you get a 100% full deposit refund.
Full Parts & Service In-House
We stock parts for all vehicles we sell and can source any part for any JDM vehicle. Full mechanical work done at our Grande Prairie shop.
Any JDM Vehicle, Anywhere
Mini truck, Nissan Skyline GTR, or anything in between — if it's available in Japan, we can import it to Canada or the US.
Custom Builds: Tracks, Lifts & More
We were the first to adapt tracks for mini trucks. Custom bumpers, lifts, camo wraps, bedliner, bodywork — all done by our team.
Passion.
Darc has been living and breathing Japanese mini trucks since before most Canadians knew they existed. What started as a personal obsession with the engineering brilliance of Japan's kei vehicles turned into Canada's most trusted JDM import operation — built entirely on word of mouth, repeat business, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
He has personally travelled to Japan to inspect, select, and negotiate vehicles at auction houses across the country. When Darc isn't in Japan, his sourcing network ensures every truck is physically inspected before a single deposit clears. His rule is simple: if he wouldn't own it himself, it doesn't get put on a ship.
Based in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Darc and his team have imported 500+ vehicles to farms, ranches, oilfields, golf courses, and hunting camps from BC to Ontario and across the US border. He's built custom tracked rigs that inspired competitors, sourced Nissan Skylines for collectors, and helped hundreds of Canadians discover what Japan has known for decades: these trucks are extraordinary machines.
When you call Japanese Trucks, you get Darc. Not a salesperson. Not a call centre. The guy who knows every truck personally and will tell you exactly what you need — or tell you honestly if it's not the right fit.
"I've seen what these trucks can do in the toughest conditions in Canada. They outlast, out-work, and out-save every alternative at this price point. I don't sell trucks I wouldn't put on my own property."
