1997 Honda Acty Truck · 4WD · 69,600 mi

Up for sale: a 1997 Honda Acty Truck, recorded as White, brought in from the Japanese domestic market. Specified 4WD, shifted by a 5-speed manual gearbox. Identified by chassis number HA4-2383940.

The HA4 Acty, in context

The HA4 is the 4WD member of Honda's second-generation Acty family, produced through the 1990s alongside the rear-drive HA3. Its 656cc E07A sits amidships and horizontal, which is why the bed is low and the cab has no engine tunnel. Honda used a part-time system on most HA4s, selected from the cab, so the truck runs in rear drive until the front axle is called on. Mechanically it is a simple, well-documented truck with wide parts support.

The clock shows 69,600 miles — call it 112,000 km, since the instrument was marked in kilometres when it left Japan. That is mid-range for a Honda kei vehicle of this era arriving in the United States.

In use

What a 4WD Acty gives you over the two-wheel-drive version is a front axle you can bring in when the surface stops cooperating — wet grass, loose gravel, a muddy field gate. The rest of the truck is unchanged: the same mid-mounted engine beneath the bed, the same low flat deck, the same cab that starts at the front bumper.

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.

Getting it to you

Because it was built in 1997, the federal 25-year exemption applies and the usual FMVSS and EPA conformity requirements fall away.
