FactIn Indonesia, bare-chassis Futura trucks went straight to local bodybuilders, who turned them into angkot — share-taxi minibuses, the same trick used on the Carry it replaced.
In April 1989 Suzuki reached an agreement with Mitsubishi for joint development of a light commercial vehicle in Indonesia; the resulting Suzuki Carry Futura (later just Futura, when the Carry name was dropped in 1994 to distinguish it from the ST100 Carry 1.0) debuted in mid-February 1991, sold alongside the smaller Carry as a bigger alternative in Indonesia (also as a Suzuki Futura in Malaysia), as a pickup, wide-deck truck with three-way opening, bare chassis (often converted into an angkot minibus) and, as the Carry Futura, a four-door van. It began with the 1,360 cc G13C (ST130/SL413), rated at 73 PS (54 kW) at 6000 rpm; the 1,590 cc G16A (ST160/SL416) of 80 PS (59 kW) joined at an August 1997 facelift, and in 2000 the 1,493 cc G15A (ST150/SL415), 77 PS (57 kW) at 6000 rpm carburetted, replaced both after Indonesia taxed engines above 1500 cc. In March 2005 the 1.5 was upgraded to fuel injection and a 16-valve head for Euro 2 (initially 87 PS, later detuned to 79 PS). Two more facelifts came in April 2010 and January 2017, and the Futura (and the APV-based Mega Carry truck) was discontinued in February 2019 for Euro 4, replaced by the Carry DC/DN61T. Wheelbase 1,970 mm (78 in), front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, five-speed manual.

Owning one
An estimate, for the Carry Futura 1.3 G13C 1,360 cc four (73 PS) trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Photographs
Built in Indonesia, this unassuming little Suzuki Carry pickup quietly reaches nearly 100 countries worldwide.
One tiny kei truck, four brands: the DA16T-generation Carry is sold wearing Suzuki, Mazda Scrum, Mitsubishi Minicab and Nissan Clipper badges — all the same vehicle underneath.
This Suzuki kei truck lived a double life in Central America — sold there as the Chevrolet CMV van and CMP pickup, badge-engineered straight through to the end of its run in 2013.
This generation split architecture by body style — the truck kept a conventional layout, but the van version buried its engine midships, just ahead of the rear axle.

To dodge Japan's voluntary export limits, GM built this Carry generation under three different badges — Bedford, Vauxhall, and GME Rascal — all assembled at GM's own plant in Luton, England.
This generation of Carry stopped selling in Japan back in 1985 — but in Pakistan, built as the Suzuki Bolan, the same platform stayed in production until 2024.
In Indonesia, locals nicknamed this little truck 'Turungtung' — an onomatopoeia for the exact sound its two-stroke engine made.
This Carry generation briefly made Suzuki the kei-truck king of Japan — outselling every other manufacturer's mini-trucks combined in both 1973 and 1974.
This kei truck wore a Giorgetto Giugiaro design, so much sportier-looking than the usual workhorse that Suzuki marketed it in Japan as "Fast Carry."
On this cabover Carry, the starter and generator weren't separate parts — they were combined into one unit and mounted right on the front of the crankshaft.
Suzuki kept the L20 Carry at the exact same 21 hp as its predecessor but still called it progress — the gain was a patented Cylinder Crank Injection lubrication system, not more power.
The tiny two-stroke engine in the original Carry mini-truck was so tough it lived on for 25 more years — evolved into a three-cylinder, it kept powering the Suzuki Jimny (as the LJ50) until 1987.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
When Mazda's E2000 — the truck that became the Titan — launched in January 1964, the factory was tasked with building 1,900 of them a month.
Swaraj Mazda built this truck under license in India from 1985, and the plant survived name changes all the way to SML Isuzu.
Indonesia built this pickup for 28 years with no successor, the last one leaving the Jakarta line in January 2019 after 324,960 units.
Suzuki's first-ever diesel engine, fitted to the Super Carry, is so small that it isn't able to power an air-conditioning system at all.
A right-hand-drive DJ-3A was built so postal drivers could reach roadside mailboxes without leaving the seat.
The Power Wagon name and civilian pickup design were derived directly from the WC-series military trucks Dodge built for World War II.

This generation of Titan quietly became the ancestor of two other trucks entirely: it was license-built by Kia as the Kia Titan in South Korea, and formed the basis of the Australian Ford Trader.
