For $6800 USD, you can buy a brand new 4 wheel drive Suzuki Carry with locking differential and a manual transmission. Do you really need anything more?
Why did you post the old one?
Here is the new non Kei version.K15 engine with a 750kg payload
New kei carry "wheel back" as we call it
New old van version that used to be the main platform that we call wheel forward
>>27608567My bad.
>>27608568How much for one of those? Why can't we have nice things here?
10,500 USD
>>2760858710% less than a 3 door Jimny Cheapest vehicle in the market is a Kia K2700 at 25% less. We don't get Kei vehicles new but imports are plentiful
>>2760859635k+€thanks binland
>>27608580>tfw I will never be a rural japanese farmer driving in my KEI truck to the market every week with my wife to sell our wares why live?
>>27608719I agree anon. Our options are 40k+ massive pickup trucks. It's all a bit silly.
>>27608596Love this little fucker. It's like a Jeep but not gay.
>>27608562i need these glowies to TONGUE MY ANUS AND FUCK OFF
>>27608562Can you really? In USA? How?
>>27608772https://minitrucksoftexas.com/inventoryYes they have new ones, no you can't register them for the street.
>>27608562>For $6800 USD, you can buy a brand newno you can't, shut up bitch
>>27608573I prefer this model. Rides much nicer when you're not sitting on the front wheel.
>>2760877620 years ago we used these as ranch trucks on hunting properties.
>>27608792https://sp.beforward.jp/suzuki/carry-truck/bt112483/id/7497133/
>>27608839lmao at that lack of wheel gap
Who makes the best mini trucks? I always liked the Honda acty.
>>27608769Imagine what America would look like if we had freedumbs? Why did we get bloated 100k trucks that will die in 30k miles?
>>27608948Suzuki Carry is the best selling. Daihatsu Charade if you are a Toyota shill>>27608769Looks like one of the dump trucks
>>27608562Yep . I need an f150. Reason: because I can.
>>27608776>no you can't register them for the street.So OP is full of shit then as usual
>>27608941>lmao at that lack of wheel gapLol I know rite why do they even sell those if they are going to break your back
>>27608776>>27608967Street legal in TX since the beginning of April.
>>27608985Not quite. 25+ year old ones which are federally exempt just like any other import, yes. Under 25 year old Kei trucks were not just granted a pass to be registered to be legally driven on the street. All the ruling did was codify that non-FMVSS compliant imports are to remain legal in the face of other states trying to ban 25+ year old imports.
>>27608967It's not necessarily that the op is full of shit. You can buy a brand new 2024 carry with 4wd and locking diffs for 6800 USD. But in Japan.
>>27608562Posting vehicles not available in the US should be a bannable offense
>>27609037ooooo scary non-american vehicle
Would it be autistic to daily drive a kei fire truck?https://sp.beforward.jp/suzuki/carry-truck/br864459/id/7273946/
>>27608580Is 2030mm the bed length? So this thing has a bigger box than your average burger truck?
>>27609054No, this is pretty common where i live
>>27609054If you take all the stuff off the back. No. If not it is just LARP. However at least it would be a unique LARP and less gay that milcuks in their toyota tacomas that can't sit in a restaurant with their back to the door despite not actually being aware of their surroundings when they are walking outside.
>>27608562They look like they'll tip over.
>>27609253When empty 80% of their weight is below the bed.
>>27609263And when there are 2 people sitting in it?
>>27608562They don't have the off road capability of a UTV and they're borderline unusable on the street. I don't really get the point of them.
>>27609286It's actually probably more than 80% because the engine is fully below the bed too.2 people my size would be adding 400 lbs to a 1500lbs vehicle.They are far less tippy than any side x side. Trust me bro we have tons of them in my country from all brands and side by sides are relatively common on the highway as well.The vans have a problem with high winds because they are basically sails but the trucks are 100% like golf carts.
Let me guess, you need more?
>>27608562It tows and hauls less than my half ton lowered truck, and my suburban will mog it in towing capacity while also having room for 9 people and gear, or 7 comfortably and even more room for gear.
>>27608769Kek fucking love that video, absolute unit
>>27609253good thing they just look
>>27609294Put on 30K kms driving mine. Almost all on the road. Totally fine. They may not have the rock-crawling potential of a UTV but they're fine on farms and the drop-side bed is at a comfortable height and is way bigger.
>>27608948Honda mini trucks are no longer made. I like Suzuki. True mid engine layout. Mine handles well, although I have added more negative camber on the front. Mazda, Nissan and Mitsubishi mini trucks are all face-lifted Suzuki's now.
>>27608580Will I get the rice cooker free with the Lil Suzuki?
>>27609360Yeah anon, go get your suburban, this can't even carry your mom.
For me, it's the Bedford Rascal
>>27610273It probably couldn't and she's 4'11 and barely 120 pounds. Not sure what you're upset about Anon, kei trucks typically can't even do freeway speeds, they aren't going to haul 1000+lbs for long let alone up any sort of incline, they're not going to tow a 20-40ft trailer of any significance, and even when they can, you cannot factually argue that they aren't designed to take that sort of use for extended periods. Meanwhile, my 37 year old suburban continues to haul a 30 foot boat as well as numerous cross state trips of lumber, cars, and various machinery without a damn hesitation.
>>27610503Im not the anon you're replying to, but yes they are different classes of vehicle. A suzuki carry will indeed run for a long time if you take care of it. There's many box and freezer kei vans running around with close to 400k km on them. If you ever need to change the engine, you can literally lift it out yourself and drop a new one in there. I believe they have a payload capacity of 750lbs which is pretty good for a truck that weighs about 1600 pounds. They are arguably and proven to be good based on sales alone, but around town they will get great gas mileage. Of course they have limits
Isn't it pretty easy to make side by sides road legal in most (US) places? Not that they're much different price wise, but it's not particularly unique
>>27611588I wish it was that easy but generally no you can't make them street legal which is a shame. Some counties or small towns will let you drive them on the side roads from your property into town but that's about it. Side by sides can get pretty shitting expensive. A JD Gator with an enclosed cab with heat and AC is $30k+. A good side by side without a CVT is also $30k+. Sounds like a lot but one of these mini trucks would still be $20k+ if they were available new here.
>>27611588In AZ all this shit is street legal
Story time. My friend had a 2-stroke 3 cylinder carry van it sounded good but it struggled on the highway.So when we needed to overtake someone the driver would yell "KITT I NEED A TURBO BOOST" and one of the passengers in the back would open the engine cover and spray aerostart into the intake.
>>27608562my neighbour had his stuck in grass how is this 4wd
Not a keitruck but what y'all think about this Bongo truck? 2.2L diesel RWD, 5 spd manual.
>>27611779I don't believe you. It's impossible. Post a video of a carry getting stuck on grass.
>>27611784Weird. When my dad owned a carry everyone called in the bongo van. What's the connection?
>>27608596>ywn own a 3rd gen qtwhy even live
>>27611788yeah it looked like the front wheels were spinning so it must've been some cheapest variation with cucked fwd
>>27611795Maybe you're just retarded. Was the carry ever sold as a fwd?
>>27608562Im 6ft4in, I cant live in that thing.
>>27608580that truck cabin looks like it would only comfortably accommodate someone the size of a japanese woman.
>>27611790There's a van version of the Bongo.
>>27609054Don't think I need to have all that equipment clatter around back there all the time, but it's always nice to see one that isn't white or rattle can olive green
>>27612024Looks like something a brown thirdie mutt would drive, no thanks.
>>27612053Neither can you or you wouldn't post the same google image of someone else's constantly
>>27608776>Buy it>Don’t register it on the street>Drive it anywayOk.
>>27612024>Big wide tire big man truck brrrrrUp here in Oil Country, those are the signature ride of the faggiest of 20-something rig pigs who have too much disposable income and no sense. Usually paired beside a white Jeep Cherokee for the kid they had with a bar slut at 21. Thankfully most just wind up repo’d or rolled into a ditch. But hey, if you LIKE telling the world that you’re an emotionally stunted niglet, you do you.
>>27608743Funny, I got a Jeep after I got rid of pic related. It was fun, but not exactly a vehicle for tall people, and more of a fun side novelty. I did daily it for quite a while though, even in winter.
>>27612116“Yes I would like an underpowered YJ with less comfort, almost no local parts availability and a radio that it turns out is tuned to much higher frequencies than NA radios so you have to use cassettes for everything. But muh RHD JDM Turbo Sovvvvle”t.-an insane man (me)
>>27611788Probably crappy tyres
>>27611588Even if you could make it road legal, a side by side is not ideal on pavement unless it had road tires. They should be road legal in cities but they aren't. Where I live no one cares if you drive them on the public roads, but that aside they still cost a lot more than a kei truck. Especially if you add things like an enclosed cab, heaters, air con if you can even get it? Etc
>>27611797No
>>27608562>>27608568>>27608572>>27608573>>27608580>>27608596>>27608839>>27608948>>27608958>>27609054>>27609314>>27609970>>27610029>>27610327>>27610528>>27611784>>27611980>>27612811>buy a weebslop so that you can lose your limbs and become wheelchaired forever! No thank you.
>>27613233OMG, it looks so cute UwU!
>>27613236>Dang, it a shame that this is not allowed in NA!
>>27608562What's the 0-60mph?
>>2761325320+ seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNFEXn0D3rc
>>27613253Slower than one of these which has heated stone floors, granite countertops and 2 bathrooms.
>>27608562Six wheel drive.
people think these are cool until they realize they're literally the size of a golf cart, less comfortable, and about as safe in a collision. their safe top speed is about 50 mph, so you can't even drive it on the highway or most major roads
>>27613357Beep, beep. You might be right about safety, but wrong about everything else.>>27613282We don't see those in Oz, but I think they're pretty nice. I like the ones that can store your car inside.
>>27613250bet you won't ride a motorbike either, pussy
>>27611799You're right. My 6'5" friend is like a giraffe in a shoe-box inside my truck. I'm 5'10" which is the probably the max size for comfortable driving.
hello
>>27613539Hello. Those Damd conversions are so cute. There's one that fits my truck that I love, and some of their Jimny ones are fabulous.
>>27611784They're okay, plenty of them around here, but don't really have the cool factor of the smaller ones.
>>27611784Older models were almost kei sized
>>27611652No fucking way
>>27617506That looked like a comfy time to be alive.
>>27608562>For $6800 USD, you can buy a brand new 4 wheel drive Suzuki CarryI paid less for that than my dodge cummins which I tow my cars and forklift and other equipment with
>>27617829NGL. 1960 DeSoto hardtop is a fucking cool car.
>>27608596Meanwhile in New Zealand
>>27611784i dont wanna leave the congo
>>27617829Why are you comparing new to used? More pictures of the truck please. I love that gen, especially the 2wd.I missed out on an opportunity to buy a 2000 ram 5.2 QCLB 2wd that was CLEAN as fuck underneath and very cheap. Only problem was that it was manual and my American wife would have needed to drive it as much as I do.We had a 2003 ram 4.7 quad before but it had too much salt in it so it was breaking down once a week for unforseens.
>>27618520>Why are you comparing new to used?where are you buying new kei trucks in the US?that's not even a thing as far as I know>I love that gen, especially the 2wd.kek I just bought a set of 05 dually super duty axles to put under it, need to figure out what transfer case will bolt to a nv4500hd with the correct side drop thoughgonna make it 4wd and a dually, radius arm front and leaf rear
>>27618528OP used the wrong image to refer to a new Kei truck. He is part of the movement pushing for the government to allow something he would never buy.Good luck on your mods. If it was me I would have left it just like that and be happy with simple, reliable motoring.
I am not a brown Poojet thirdie so I'd never drive one of these shitboxes.
>>27618541>If it was me I would have left it just like that and be happy with simple, reliable motoring.I totally would have left it but I got new property and the soil is very soft and I keep sinking in, plus having 4 wheel drive is just nice and I've found myself needing it when towing offroadI love the truck so much im converting it, shouldn't be a big deal other than finding that transfer case it's all pretty straightforward
>>27618543Pajeets love Camrys. Newer the better.
>>27618541For 6800? I would buy it just for whipping around on the farm. A similar side by side would cost me 20k or so.
>>27608562Ngl that's a gay trugg
>>27618238Fucking nice mate. I wonder if we can get those over here...
>>27618636England does a version too. None for Oz.
>>27618687Fuck's sake, everything is so fucking gay here, people make fun of you guys (and the Poms) but at least you have nice weather. Just fuck my shit up cunt.
