1997 Honda Acty Attack 4WD Kei Truck

We brought in this 1997 Honda Acty Attack with 42,203 miles showing, and it's the real deal 4WD version with the factory diff lock, not a stripped-down 2WD dressed up to look tough. It runs a 4-speed manual gearbox, which suits this truck's low-range personality better than the automatics we sometimes see come through. Priced at $5,500, it's ready to go to work the day it lands in your driveway.

Why the Acty Attack Earns Its Name

Honda built the Acty with the engine slung under the bed rather than out front, which gives it a weight balance closer to 50/50 than almost anything else in the kei truck class. That layout is why Acty owners in Japan trusted these on orchard rows and mountain farm roads for decades. The Attack trim adds real 4WD hardware and a locking differential, so when one rear wheel starts spinning on wet grass or loose gravel, you can lock it and keep both wheels pulling instead of watching one tire dig a hole.

This particular truck checked out with its 4WD system and diff lock both functioning as they should, and the 4-speed manual shifts clean through the gears. At 42,203 miles, it's not a garage queen, but it's also nowhere near worn out for a Honda kei engine, these things routinely run well past 100,000 miles with basic maintenance. We go through the drivetrain, brakes, and electrical on every truck before it's listed, and we'll tell you straight if something needs attention rather than gloss over it.

Where this truck actually earns its keep is anywhere a full-size pickup is overkill or won't fit. A few places we've seen Acty Attacks put to good use:

• Hauling feed and fence posts around a ranch
• Working narrow rows on small farms and orchards
• Getting gear back to hunting camps off the main trail
• Utility runs around campgrounds and RV parks
• Yard and warehouse duty where a full-size truck can't turn around
• Landscaping and small contractor work on tight residential lots
