About the DC51T Carry

The DC51T is the rear-drive Carry truck of 1991 to 1999. Suzuki put the 657cc F6A three-cylinder under the seats in a cab-over layout, which is the conventional kei truck arrangement and the reason the Carry has the longest bed in the class for its length. The Carry nameplate has run continuously since 1961, so parts and aftermarket support for this generation are about as good as the segment gets.

The instrument reads 82,300 miles, roughly 132,400 km on its original kilometre scale. The Carry has been built continuously since 1961 and its engines were designed around sustained commercial use.

How this one is set up

The rear-drive Carry is the volume-selling version of the best-selling kei truck, with the engine under the cab driving the back axle through a short propshaft. It is the lightest configuration Suzuki offered and the cheapest to keep, and it leaves the full bed length — the longest in the class for the overall dimensions — completely usable.

This sits in the cheapest band of the market. At this level a 1998 Suzuki Carry Truck is competing with used garden machinery and utility vehicles on price while offering a cab, a heater and a licence plate, which is the argument most buyers at this end are making.

Ordering and delivery

A 1998 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. There is a walkaround video on this listing alongside the photographs. The figure is $4,600, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
