Powertrain on this AZ-Offroad

The engine is recorded as the K6A. Twin cams and an aluminium block put the K6A a generation ahead of the iron-block engines it replaced. The 1999 AZ-Offroad came with an automatic gearbox, and that is what this one has. The K6A is Suzuki's all-aluminium twin-cam twelve-valve successor to the F6A, running a timing chain in place of the F6A's belt. With four-wheel drive the useful part is traction at a standstill — getting a loaded bed moving on grass, gravel or mud rather than spinning one wheel.

Import and ownership — 1999 Mazda AZ-Offroad

A 1999 AZ-Offroad 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. The asking price is $6,300. Since October 1998 the kei limits have been 3,400mm long, 1,480mm wide and 2,000mm tall, and a 1999 vehicle was designed to exactly those numbers. In Japan a 1999 AZ-Offroad would have belonged to a shopkeeper, a small workshop or a farm, which is the sort of use it was engineered around.
