2000 Honda Acty Truck · 4WD · 79,000 mi

This particular kei truck is a 2000 Honda Acty Truck — the paint is down as Red, and it is here rather than on a boat. It is set up as 4WD with a 5-speed manual transmission. It carries the chassis number HA7-1101607.

The HA7 Acty explained

The HA7 is the four-wheel-drive truck from the Acty generation Honda launched in 1999 and built until 2009. It uses the fuel-injected 656cc E07Z in the same mid-mounted position as every Acty before it, and it was the first Acty designed to the wider post-1998 kei dimensions. Honda offered a real-time system on many HA7s, which sends torque forward automatically when the rear wheels slip rather than waiting to be switched.

This one reads 79,000 miles, about 127,100 km. Honda built the mid-mounted E07 engine for commercial use rather than for a passenger car, and figures in the high five digits are routine across the generation.

Why this configuration

A four-wheel-drive Acty takes its front drive from a transfer unit behind the mid-mounted engine and runs it forward beneath the cab. The arrangement is the reverse of a conventional truck, and it leaves the load bed completely unobstructed. For yard work, a smallholding or a site road, the useful part is that the driven rear axle carries both the engine and the payload.

Mid-band pricing on a kei truck generally reflects a sound, unremarkable specification — the four-wheel-drive, five-speed, flat-bed combination that the majority of buyers are looking for in the first place.

How to take it

At 2000 it is past the 25-year mark, which is the line that decides whether a Japanese-market vehicle can be imported at all. You do not deal with the import paperwork; we do, and we organise delivery to your address. A walkaround video is included with this listing. The figure is $6,350, and a message is all it takes to put it aside.
