History
The StarCarry is Seikatsu's series of utility vans, which finds wide use in the private and public sectors. Variants in different bodystyles are available, from a standard panel van to a minibus, and in more recent years, even trucks.
A new generation was released in 1985 featuring a more aerodynamic body and a shift towards semi-unibody construction, with the passenger compartment being semi-unibody but the cargo area a more conventional fully-boxed ladder frame. In 1994, a new facelift was received, utilizing more contemporary composite headlights, an updated lower fascia, and a refreshed interior.
In the late 80s, Seikatsu wished to create a flatbed pickup derivative of its StarCarry van to serve a wider variety of customers, specifically those in construction and transportation. Design and construction of the new flatbed was outsourced to Comet-Bar Industries, who still handles flatbed conversion of StarCarry vans to this day. The truck version is often referred to as the "MegaCarry."
Powered by a full-iron 2.0L SOHC I4, the StarCarry and MegaCarry are affordable workhorses that never fail to impress. Over 80% of the StarCarry and MegaCarry vans and trucks that have been made are still in use due to widespread parts availability, ease of service, and reliability.
