The Suzuki Carry and Mitsubishi Minicab both occupy the capable 4WD kei truck space, but they have different specialties. The Carry is the off-road generalist with the most widespread US parts support. The Minicab is the commercial specialist with automatic transmission availability and powered dump beds — features the Carry doesn't offer.

Choose the Suzuki Carry When…
Choose the Suzuki Carry for true off-road performance with a proper hi/lo transfer case, widespread US import mechanic familiarity, and a lower entry price point. The Carry's F6A engine is one of the best-supported kei engines in North America for long-term ownership.
Choose the Mitsubishi Minicab When…
Choose the Mitsubishi Minicab for automatic transmission (a rare find in kei trucks), electric dump beds, and commercial-grade features like AC and power windows. If you're buying a kei truck for repeated commercial use and want to minimize driver fatigue, the Minicab's features justify the slightly higher price.
Our Verdict
Off-road and farm use on a budget: Carry. Commercial operations needing automatic, powered dump, or more cab amenities: Minicab.
