When your daily grind demands a workhorse that refuses to quit, the Suzuki Carry 1.5 Dropside (2020) steps up as the no-nonsense commercial partner you can count on. Built for maximum utility, this compact pickup is engineered to haul heavy loads across the Philippines’ toughest routes without breaking a sweat — or your budget.
Under the hood, a 1,462cc inline-4 DOHC 16-valve gasoline engine delivers a brisk 96 PS at 3,500 rpm and 135 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels. The body-on-frame construction and leaf-spring rear suspension give it the rugged backbone needed for serious payload work, while MacPherson strut front suspension helps keep the ride manageable even when the dropside bed is fully loaded.
Key Highlights
Purpose-built dropside bed — With a 1,065-kg curb weight and a chassis designed for cargo, this pickup easily swallows construction materials, farm produce, or delivery goods.
