The 1997 Carry in context

Suzuki offered a differential lock and a limited-slip differential on the Carry from as early as 1986, and four-wheel-drive five-speeds got an extra-low gear. Japanese buyers bought Carrys by the hundred thousand for farms, markets and building sites, so a 1997 example is the product of decades of unglamorous refinement. Suzuki has built the Carry since 1961 — eleven generations, and the oldest nameplate the company still sells. It was Japan's best-selling truck nameplate for thirty-nine consecutive years from 1971, passing four million units by 2010. The Carry has been built under licence and badge worldwide — as the Bedford Rascal in the UK, the Holden Scurry in Australia, the Maruti Omni in India — which is unusual reach for a kei truck.

Owning a Carry

In Japan a 1997 Carry would have belonged to a shopkeeper, a small workshop or a farm, which is the sort of use it was engineered around. Built in 1997, this Carry is 29 years old and clears the 25-year threshold at which imported vehicles are exempt from US federal motor vehicle safety standards conformity. It is listed at $4,464.
