The Acty Truck, in context

Honda built the Acty through the 1990s with its engine lying flat beneath the load bed instead of under the cab — the only kei truck of the decade laid out that way. Nothing sits between the driver's feet and the front bumper, and nothing interrupts the bed floor. The 656cc E07A triple drove the rear wheels, with four-wheel-drive versions taking their front drive from a transfer box behind the engine.

The clock shows 58,341 miles — call it 93,900 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.

Putting it to work

Four-wheel drive on a mid-engined Acty is an unusual arrangement and it has a practical consequence: the engine's mass already sits over the rear axle, and anything loaded into the bed sits on top of it. Weight goes where the traction is before the front axle is ever called on. The flat bed floor is a second consequence of the same layout, since there is no propshaft tunnel running under it.

The $5,000 to $8,000 band is where most imported kei trucks sit, and it is where supply is deepest — which means the most choice of year, drivetrain and body style. Our price guide breaks down what moves a truck between bands.

The buying process

At 1998 it is past the 25-year mark, which is the line that decides whether a Japanese-market vehicle can be imported at all. The paperwork side — import documentation and title — is our job, and we deliver anywhere in the US. Priced at $5,700; message us and we will hold it for you.
