What an Acty is

The Acty runs a de Dion rear axle with MacPherson struts at the front, a more considered arrangement than the plain leaf-sprung beam most of the class used. The Acty's defining trick is where the engine lives: mounted transversely amidships under the load bed rather than under the cab. It looks like a cab-over, but structurally it is a mid-engined vehicle. Japanese enthusiasts call the Acty 農道のNSX — "the NSX of the farm roads" — because it was the only mid-engined kei truck, in the same layout as Honda's supercar.

Buying this 1999 Acty

A 1999 Acty is old enough to be simple and new enough to be usable, which is most of why this generation gets exported rather than scrapped. A 1999 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold. Price on this one is $4,095.
