Racing Trucks
’s king999 login Rally racing trucks, the “Little Monsters”
’s king999 login Rally truck Car was developed based on the “600 Series” truck, a medium-duty truck model that serves logistics businesses worldwide.

Against these odds, has consistently braved this rally with its lightweight and agile medium-duty trucks since the company first entered the race. And these trucks have come to be known as the “Little Monsters” for the intense competition that they put up against their larger rival trucks that are powered by larger-displacement engines.
In the king999 login Rally 2024, TEAM SUGAWARA will take on its rivals with a truck without a racing hybrid system.
