DD51T Carry: the short version

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.

The odometer records 15,713 miles, which is in the region of 25,300 km in the units the dial was printed in — toward the low end for a Carry-family vehicle coming out of Japan.

The practical side

A locking rear differential does one specific thing: it stops an open differential sending all the torque to the wheel with least grip. With the lock engaged both rear wheels turn together, which is what gets a light-rear-ended truck off wet grass or out of a rut. It is a work-specification fitting rather than standard equipment.

Above $12,000 a kei truck is being priced on specification rather than transport. A 1996 Suzuki Carry 4WD, Axle Lock, 2Hi-4Hi, Extra Low Gear, 5MT, Rare! in this band is normally carrying hardware or a configuration that the ordinary working trucks do not.
