On the DD51T Carry

DD51T is the four-wheel-drive Carry built from 1991 to 1999, and it is one of the most widely exported kei trucks of its era. The 657cc F6A sits beneath the cab floor and drives the rear axle, with a selectable front axle and, on many trucks, an extra-low crawler gear in the gearbox. Suzuki also supplied this generation to Mazda, which sold it as the Scrum.

Odometer reading 60,525 miles, about 97,400 km. For a 660cc Suzuki commercial engine that is an unremarkable figure within the range these vehicles are exported at.

In use

The Carry formula has barely changed since 1961: cab pushed over the front axle, engine tucked beneath the floor, and every remaining millimetre of the statutory length given over to the bed. The result is the longest load deck in the class for the overall dimensions, on the best-supported running gear in the segment.

Below $5,000 you are buying age and mileage rather than specification. What you get for it is a road-registerable vehicle with a real bed and a real cab for less than a decent side-by-side costs.
