Body notes

  • This van is not the DC51T truck under a box. Its engine sits between the axles behind the seats; the truck's sits under the seat. ja.wikipedia says the Carry Van chassis differs from the truck's.
  • A DE51V 4WD before April 1997 is full time; after it, some grades are selectable part time. The 4WD turbo's AXC coupling is its own part.
  • All 25 years old on 28 October 2026.

The 25 year lane

In the road lane today.

Earliest units of this chassis turn 25 in this month, counted from production.from. Each truck's own date of manufacture decides, to the day, under 49 USC 30112(b)(9).

The last units turn 25December 2023

The newer lane

EPA certificates.

F6ANamed 2010 to 2016

Named for mini trucks, carburetted, model years 2010 to 2016.

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 31 October 2001 and before model year 2010 has no federal door until its 25th birthday.
