The ninth generation Suzuki Carry truck (DC51T/DD51T) and its van counterpart, the Every (DE51V/DF51V), were produced from 1991 to 1999. These models are powered by the reliable 657cc F6A 3-cylinder engine, available in naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms, with options for 2WD or 4WD. This generation retains the classic rounded styling that many enthusiasts find charming, marking it as a sweet spot before designs became more angular.
Collector interest is driven by the vehicle's immense practicality and unique character. As 25-year-old examples became eligible for US import, they found a ready market with small business owners, farmers, and enthusiasts seeking a fun utility vehicle. Their simple mechanicals make them easy to maintain, and a huge aftermarket exists for everything from lift kits and off-road tires to engine performance parts.
The market for these kei vehicles is active and growing, with an average sale price around $7,400 based on over 100 recent transactions. Their affordability makes them an excellent entry point into JDM vehicle ownership. Prices are heavily influenced by condition, mileage, and options like 4WD, dump beds, air conditioning, and turbocharged engines, which command a premium.
Buying Tips
- Check thoroughly for rust, especially in the bed, under the cab floor mats, and along the frame rails. These were work vehicles, and corrosion is their biggest enemy.
- The F6A engine is robust, but inspect for oil leaks around the valve cover and distributor O-ring. A smoky exhaust could signal worn valve stem seals.
- Test the 4WD system if equipped. The vacuum-actuated front hubs can sometimes fail, preventing engagement.
- Verify all import documentation is present and that the chassis number on the vehicle matches the US title. State registration rules can vary.
- Check the cooling system for leaks. The small engine works hard, and overheating can lead to head gasket failure.
Prices for the 9th generation Carry and Every range from $3,000 for project-quality examples to $17,000 for clean, low-mileage, or well-equipped models.
