Estimate · as of 2026-07-06

The Suzuki Carry DD51T is the archetypal 1990s kei truck: a 660cc F6A cab-over pickup with selectable 4WD, diff-lock on many grades, and a full-size drop-side bed on a truck that fits where a UTV fits. Every DD51T is now past the US 25-year FMVSS exemption, which is why it has become the default first JDM import for American buyers. In the Up to $5k band it sources from Japan's licensed auctions for roughly $1,500–$5,000 FOB (estimate, as of 2026-07-06).

Prices are estimates based on recent auction data. Your licensed dealer confirms exact figures before any bid is placed.

What to check on the auction sheet

Check the frame and bed supports for rust-through, not just surface rust — coastal and snow-prefecture trucks vary widely. Confirm 4WD engagement and low range on the auction sheet or inspection notes. Parts supply is excellent, but tired examples may need timing belt, carb cleaning and bushings on arrival.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Carry (DD51T) available from Japan's auctions?

Yes. Japan's USS auction network is one of the largest used-car markets in the world. A licensed dealer checks current inventory and shortlists cars that match your requirement — no random classifieds.

Does the Carry (DD51T) come right-hand drive from Japan?

Japan is a right-hand-drive market, so most auction stock is RHD. If your country requires RHD, Japanese sourcing is ideal. LHD units occasionally appear but are rare; our team confirms steering before you approve any bid.

Do I need to pay a deposit to enquire about the Carry (DD51T)?

No upfront deposit is required. You can ask Tomo anything, explore price bands, and get a landed-cost estimate completely free. A small, refundable fee is only ever requested by a human team member later — and only when warranted.
