Body notes
- The long wheelbase, semi cab Carry with the front wheels ahead of the doors. From November 2005 it was sold beside the short wheelbase DA65T. The two are easy to tell apart by where the front wheel sits.
- An EBD- prefix means a DA63T built from August 2005 on; an LE- prefix is most likely earlier, though catalogs list some LE- versions after August 2005 too.
- The badge on the grille changed back to the S mark in April 2009 (reference work), another quick dating sign.
- Turns 25 from May 2027.

The newer lane
EPA certificates.
K6ANamed 2010 to 2026
The most certified kei engine. Three families named K6A for model year 2010 list the Carry DA62T, DA63T and DA65T, the Every DA64V and the Scrum DG63T and DG64V. Two are still certified for 2026.
This chassis named in a nonroad certificate2010 to 2013
A truck under 25 can come in only as governed off road equipment, and only if its engine family held an EPA nonroad certificate for that model year. No kei engine family was certified for mini trucks before model year 2010, so a truck built after 30 October 2001 and before model year 2010 has no federal door until its 25th birthday.
