Engine and transmission — Carry Truck

The engine is recorded as the F6A. The F6A ran for years across Suzuki's entire small-vehicle range, so it is about as well-understood as a Japanese engine gets. The 1997 Carry Truck came with a 5-speed gearbox, and that is what this one has.

Condition and equipment — Carry Truck

Odometer at listing is 33440; the paperwork gives a Japanese auction grade of 4/C. That reading of 33440 came to us without a unit attached, and we have left it exactly as found.

1997 Suzuki Carry Truck: the background

The Carry uses the classic kei arrangement — cab-over body, engine mounted longitudinally under the driver's seat, drive to the rear — which keeps everything short-coupled and within reach. 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. 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.

Buying this 1997 Carry Truck

A 1997 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. We imported this 1997 Carry Truck ourselves and sell it directly — there is no Suzuki franchise between you and the vehicle. It is listed at $4,900.
