It was classified as a commercial vehicle in Japan so as to benefit from lower taxes for such vehicles, but its utilitarian values were certainly restricted. While the Mighty Boy couldn't be termed a runaway success and was never replaced in the Suzuki lineup, the car still has a dedicated following in Japan. Unlike other micro trucks in japan, the Mighty Boy has a very small flat bed of no more than 600 mm length that is of limited utility. But the low slung driving position was both more comfortable and completely unlike any of the cab forward pickups in the Japanese micro truck market. The (comparatively) spacious cabin also offered sliding and reclining seats, and a reasonably large luggage area behind the seats.

I guess this was designed to carry those tiny Kei-class 4x8 sheets of plywood.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, if I am going Kei, I will hold out for an Autozam or maybe one of the small vans.
