1993 Suzuki Carry

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Suzuki Carry and other sub-compact kei trucks are the workhorses of southeast Asian commerce. Designed around the clogged roads and restricted parking of Japan’s cities, the Carry (DC51T) has been a mainstay of business and agriculture since 1961.

Built from 1991 to 1999, the ninth-generation Carry featured a mild facelift, as well as front disc brakes. The cabover design offers minimal length for maneuverability with maximum space for loads over six feet long. The Carry has a reputation for durability, including the three-cylinder SOHC 660cc F6A engine producing up to 42 horsepower — plenty for this small urban hauler. This 1993 Carry also features a four-speed manual transmission.

Common throughout the world but scarce in the U.S., the Suzuki Carry is a compact cargo carrier that’s economical and easily maneuverable. This one was exported to the U.S. in 2023.
