What the DD51T Carry is

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.

Shown on the clock: 43,958 miles, near enough 70,700 km. Suzuki's F6A and K6A three-cylinders were produced in enormous numbers across the Carry, Every and Jimny ranges, so the model line's service history as a whole is unusually well documented.

The practical side

Low range plus a locking differential is the full working specification. The transfer case gives a second reduction for torque at walking pace; the diff lock forces both rear wheels to turn together so that one wheel lifting or spinning on wet clay does not strand the truck. Neither is common on imported kei trucks and the combination is rarer still.

Between $8,000 and $12,000 the market moves from ordinary trucks to better ones: later chassis, lower readings, fuel injection, air conditioning, or a factory option that is hard to find. The step up from the mid band is usually specification rather than condition.

How the purchase works

A 1997 build date places this vehicle beyond the 25-year threshold that governs importing a non-US-market car into the United States. The paperwork side — import documentation and title — is our job, and we deliver anywhere in the US. The figure is $10,900, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
