Like the idea of a Kei truck but want more cabin space? Look no further.
This one features 4x4,a low range transfer case, a rear diff lock and power options
The Suzuki Carry is an automotive legend.
Aside from being sold new in dealerships continuously for over 50 years, the humble Suzuki Carry also garnered a solid reputation for reliability along the way. Just go to Japan, and you’ll see millions of them empowering building sites, helping farmers, or merely transporting equipment to and from sites.
Suzuki’s endearing truck comes in two flavours: the Suzuki Carry with a regular cab and the Suzuki Super Carry as a space cab. What you are looking at here is the latter—a Suzuki Super Carry—with nifty and compact exterior dimensions of 3.39 metres long by 1.47 metres wide.
The drop-side rear tray will lug around 350 kg safely and measures up at 1.48 metres long by 1.41 metres wide. There is a small hatch where you can load ‘thin’ lengths—like timber or conduit—up to 1.85 metres long.
Another positive the space cab offers is extra cabin space. You’ll find full-size front seats in a Super Carry, as well as more legroom/headroom compared to a regular single-cab Carry. Other extras include a 30 cm storage shelf in the rear of the cab too—perfect for your dog to ride with you instead of in the tray.
This example comes factory-equipped with auto emergency braking, power windows, remote central locking, and air conditioning. The 660cc three-cylinder engine is located in the middle of the vehicle in a longitudinal fashion, which creates a fantastic and ergonomic cab-over design.
When the vehicle is not locked to 4×4, it is rear-wheel drive. Huge amounts of steering lock create a fantastic turning circle of 3.6 metres, and your forward-facing vantage point makes it easy to manoeuvre the truck in tight spaces oraround tracks on your property or job site.
Another talking point is its kerb weight of just 740 kg—making it nimble, great on fuel, and fun to drive. All of our Suzuki Carrys come with certification and federal-based vehicle road vehicle compliance, which means they can be road registered in any state or territory in Australia.
The car pictured – 2018 Suzuki Super Carry X 4×4
This Suzuki Super Carry was built in June 2018 and is a top-spec ‘X’ model.
That means it’s powered by the steadfast 660cc three-cylinder ‘R06A’ engine and features a five-speed manual transmission with 4×4, low-range transfer case, and rear differential lock.
Factory features include automatic emergency braking (city—low speed), dual airbags, silver metallic paint, front fog lights, power windows, remote central locking, and a double-DIN stereo. The tray is in above-average condition, with a minor marks commensurate with age.
Its paintwork is wholly original too. The interior presents well and does not show signs of being treated poorly. It was purchased from USS Tokyo as a grade 4.5B example and comes with some service history, the original owner’s manual, two keys, and a Japanese export certificate.
Locally, we installed a set of JDM 12×4 inch wheels. These rims are the same rolling diameter as factory, however they are 0.5 inch wider, which further promotes high-speed stability. Other small details include a rear exterior light mounted on the rear window guard and exterior weather shields.
