The DB52T Carry, in context

The DB52T is the four-wheel-drive Carry truck of 1999 onwards, built to the post-1998 kei standard of 3.40 metres by 1.48 metres. Its fuel-injected 657cc F6A gave up the carburettor that the previous generation used, which is the main mechanical difference between a DB52T and a DD51T. Suzuki continued to offer a low-range transfer case and a locking rear differential on work-specification trucks in this range.

The instrument reads 93,740 miles, roughly 150,900 km on its original kilometre scale. The Carry has been built continuously since 1961 and its engines were designed around sustained commercial use.

The configuration

Low range is the feature that separates a working kei truck from a four-wheel-drive one. A second set of reduction gears in the transfer case multiplies torque and divides road speed, so the truck can creep up a slope or out of a rut under load without the clutch doing the work. On a 660cc engine it is not a luxury — it is what makes the gradient possible at all.

Above $12,000 a kei truck is being priced on specification rather than transport. A 1999 Suzuki Carry Custom 4WD, 2Hi-4Hi-4Lo, PS, AC, 5MT in this band is normally carrying hardware or a configuration that the ordinary working trucks do not.

Buying this one

At 1999 it is past the 25-year mark, which is the line that decides whether a Japanese-market vehicle can be imported at all. Import documentation and titling are handled at our end, and we ship nationwide. The figure is $14,995, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
