Engine and transmission — Carry SD Dump 4WD

The engine is recorded as the F6A — 660cc 3-cylinder. Suzuki built the F6A in carburetted, injected and turbocharged forms and in both six-valve and twelve-valve single-cam heads, and that breadth is part of why it survived so long. The 660cc engine drives through a manual gearbox. On the specification it carries an extra-low crawler gear, a locking differential and selectable 2WD / 4WD high.

1997 Suzuki Carry SD Dump 4WD: the background

Suzuki has supplied the Carry to other manufacturers to badge as their own — Mazda since 1989, later Nissan and Mitsubishi — so the same underlying truck circulates under several names, which is another reason the parts supply runs deep. Four-wheel-drive Carrys were sold specifically for agricultural and mountain work, which is where the low-range and locking-differential options in this family came from. Suzuki was candid about who the Carry was for: individual shopkeepers, small workshops, and agriculture, forestry and fisheries. It has sold a dedicated farm grade with a differential lock continuously.

Buying this 1997 Carry SD Dump 4WD

Four-wheel drive on a dump body matters most when the bed is full and the ground is soft — which is usually the same moment. At 29 years old, this 1997 Carry SD Dump 4WD is outside the window where federal safety-standard conformity applies to an import. Price on this one is $10,900.
