The Suzuki Carry is a kei truck produced by the Japanese automaker Suzuki. The microvan version is sold as Suzuki Every. In Japan, the Carry and Every are Kei cars but Suzuki Every Landy, the bigger version of Every had a longer hood for safety purposes and a larger 1.3-liter 82 hp (61 kW) 4-cylinder engine. They are given different names and sold in several countries.

The Carry was constructed with a ladder frame architecture. The van version was a five-door, with dual sliding rear side doors; available as rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.

Early models (1960-1970s) had a 360 or 450(export model) cc 2-cylinder, 2-stroke engine mounted horizontally underneath the load area. The starter and generator were combined and mounted directly on the front of the crankshaft. Later models had an 550, 660 and 800(export model) cc 3-cylinder, 4-stroke engines unconventionally mounted beneath the cab.

In 1976 the ST20K was released.The "K" referred to the "trucklike" nature of the vehicle in that it had 3 drop sides as opposed to the utility version which had only a tailgate and formed sides.It had a 3 cylinder 539 cc water cooled 2 stroke engine and a carrying capacity of 350 kg (772 lb).

Interestingly, early Suzuki Carry's are popularly called "Half Loafs" in South Africa, reffering to "half a loaf of bread" (still a staple of many South Africans). In Cape Town and Durban, many of these little vans are seen painted in bright yellow with green artwork....and a chopped of open rear end! These are part of large fleets of privately owned public transport vehicles which fit between normal taxis and city buses. You'd litterally hop in at the back, pass the driver (always within arm's length!) a Rand or two, and simply jump of at you required destination. Unsurprisingly, these vehicles are known as "Half Loaf Taxis.
