The cleanest Suzuki Carry I've ever seen

I have something special to show you. It’s the cleanest Suzuki Carry I’ve ever seen. Tastefully modified, obviously loved, and brought over with only 34,300km on it – this truck is proof it’s still possible to snag the perfect JDM vehicle at auction.

From the outside, the truck’s altered stance is immediately apparent. Even though it’s not sitting on flashy alloys, the 14” white steelies fill in the wheel wells very nicely. This isn’t just an aesthetic improvement, though - in North America, 14” tires are easy to find (compared to the rare 13” or 12” tires standard on most kei trucks).

It’s not just the wheels that give the truck improved lines. It’s also been lowered by about 1”. These two mods combined completely change the look of the truck – 12” wheels can look too small even for kei trucks, but this Carry looks powerful instead of top-heavy.

This Carry sports one of my favorite mods, since it’s cheap to do and really glams up a kei truck: the inside of the gates, and the headache rack, are painted black.

The inside is appointed for style and comfort. The aftermarket steering wheel immediately stands out: that’s a Momo Montecarlo. The seat covers aren’t hiding anything - the stock upholstery is in great shape underneath - but the fitted covers class up the Carry’s sparse interior. And the headlights have been replaced with aftermarket HIDs (anyone who’s driven at night in an older car knows why this matters).

The original owner attended to the sound in the cabin, too. The aftermarket head unit drives upgraded speakers (in the door cards), and the back wall of the cabin has been covered in a Dynamat-like material.

Mechanically, this truck’s a beauty. You could flip it upside down and eat off it. We put in a new battery, brake pads, oil, and oil filter, but only as a matter of policy; it barely needed it. It’s best kept on the road, though, since it’s 2WD, which makes it quicker on the street, but not suited for mudding.

Does this inspire you to get your kei truck serviced? Or maybe have us broker one for you? Or maybe you covet this one in particular? It’s for sale, for now (and gawking at it on our sales lot is free).
