Powertrain on this Carry Truck

Gearbox on this Carry Truck is a 5-speed manual gearbox, driving four-wheel drive. With four-wheel drive the useful part is traction at a standstill — getting a loaded bed moving on grass, gravel or mud rather than spinning one wheel.

1999 Suzuki Carry Truck: the background

The DB52T code identifies this 1999 Carry Truck as a tenth-generation Carry, built from 1999 to 2001. 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. Japanese buyers bought Carrys by the hundred thousand for farms, markets and building sites, so a 1999 example is the product of decades of unglamorous refinement.
