Background: the Carry Truck

Japanese buyers bought Carrys by the hundred thousand for farms, markets and building sites, so a 1996 example is the product of decades of unglamorous refinement. Carrys were mostly ordered in plain white for trade use; this one is White. 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. Suzuki offered a differential lock and a limited-slip differential on the Carry from as early as 1986, and four-wheel-drive five-speeds got an extra-low gear.

Carry Truck: engine and drivetrain

The engine is recorded as the F6A. The F6A sits under the seats rather than ahead of the driver, so servicing starts by tipping the bench forward. The F6A drives through a 5-speed gearbox.

Ownership and import of this Carry Truck

A 1996 Carry Truck 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 1996 build date puts this one well past the 25-year federal import threshold. It is listed at $5,700.
