Why the Sambar SD Dump 4WD is different

Putting the engine behind the rear axle loads the driven wheels, and that is a large part of why Sambars have the traction reputation they do. Sambars turn up in more colours than most kei trucks because Subaru sold plenty to private buyers as well as to trades; this one is White. Subaru gave the Sambar four-wheel independent suspension from the very first 1961 model, at a time when Japanese passenger cars mostly did without it — struts at the front, semi-trailing arms at the rear.

The mechanical side of this Sambar SD Dump 4WD

Under it is the EN07, a 660cc 4-cylinder engine. Because the EN07 is a four rather than a three, the firing intervals are closer together and the engine is noticeably less busy at speed — a difference you can hear from the driver's seat. The EN07 drives through a manual gearbox. On the specification it carries an extra-low crawler gear and selectable 2WD / 4WD high.
