Yes, the other option Toyota had was to classify then as UTV's, like quad bikes and gators. No speed limit, but not street legal either.

They should probably do that: sell a variant without doors and with knobby tires as a UTV.

UTVs can be plated as street legal in a lot of states, so that might be more useful for some people.
