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. The DC51T code identifies this 1993 Carry DC51T 2WD as a ninth-generation Carry, built from 1991 to 1999. The DC51T code follows Suzuki's scheme where the trailing letter gives the body — T for a truck, B for a tipping deck, V for a van.

Practicalities of this Carry DC51T 2WD

Farms, vineyards, ranches, grounds crews and building sites are where Carry DC51T 2WDs end up in the US, for the same reasons they ended up there in Japan — Japanese sources describe the kei truck as a necessity for moving tools, crops and catch. Built in 1993, this Carry DC51T 2WD is 33 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 $6,900. Japan's kei category exists because small vehicles are taxed and registered differently there, and the Carry DC51T 2WD was built specifically to qualify.
