What a Carry Truck is

Carrys were mostly ordered in plain white for trade use; this one is White. The F6A fitted here is one of Suzuki's own kei engines, a design the company used across a very large number of vehicles. 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. Japanese buyers bought Carrys by the hundred thousand for farms, markets and building sites, so a 1998 example is the product of decades of unglamorous refinement.
