Kei Truck
The Kei Truck, the category the Carry falls into, comes in an RWD or 4WD option, with the average truck weighing 2000 pounds.
All Kei truck manufacturers built their trucks to fit Japanese requirements for the smallest highway passenger car. The Japanese created these requirements in 1949. It specifies the vehicle size, engine capacity, and power outlet.
Owners of Kei cars benefitted because they got tax and insurance benefits. For this reason and more, the Kei cars and trucks are very successful, with almost 1/3 of Japanese car sales falling in this category.

USA Importations
One issue with the mini truck is the trucks don't fit American criteria. Luckily, the United States government deems all vehicles over 25 years old street safe. Otherwise, individuals would need to check their state’s law before importing a Kei Truck. The used Suzuki Carrys are over 25 years old and are street legal. Plus, the Carry is durable, so the vehicles are still in good condition.

Something remarkable is that an Attack version of the car was made just for farmers, with a lock on the back and gears.

Pros and Cons

The pros of this vehicle are that it has a smooth ride, making it an excellent fit for freeway driving. Yet, this truck can still handle off-road travel if needed. The Suzuki is just a little better suited for off-road.
