FactMazda named this tiny kei truck after a rugby scrum — borrowing the term specifically to signal toughness.
The DG/DH51 Scrum replaced the first Scrum after only nine months with a larger 660 cc three-cylinder engine (38 PS, or 58 PS with a turbo) as kei car standards changed; a passenger-car version, the Scrum Wagon, was added for 2000 while the commercial truck and van were updated, and Mazda still sells the Scrum under its own name. It uses Suzuki 660 cc three-cylinder engines in a variety of specifications including turbocharged, with four-wheel drive (switchable between 4WD and 2WD, with high and low ranges) or two-wheel drive.
