But why the decision to ban Kei trucks from Rhode Island streets? Because the DMV claims they don't meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

How do SUVs fit in that standard in EU?

You basically need to design the car so pedestrians bounce over the hood instead of going under. So you can still to an SUV, but can't really do a Ford F150 style front.

But the F150/Ranger and esp. RAM Trucks exist here
