Let's face it. A T3 Doka is not exactly the most practical truck today. You could do better driving a NEW truck from one of the US or Japanese companies for less money and maintain with less effort. But they just aren't as "cool".

You can buy a trailer kit from a place like Harbor Freight for less than a couple of hundred and be able carry as much (probably more) than a T3 Doka trailer. But we wouldn't be having this conversation if that were the case.
