Who we are
Founded in 2021, Mars Mini Trucks began as a family project inspired by Patti Wilcox’s desire to work alongside her father, John Wilcox. Based in North Carolina, John started importing Kei trucks in early 2020 and quickly discovered a high demand for these unique, compact vehicles. What began as a hobby soon transformed into a dedicated business, providing reliable Kei trucks and right-hand drive vehicles to meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts, farmers, and adventure seekers alike.
