The Suzuki Mighty Boy is an automobile produced by Japanese automaker Suzuki from 1983 to 1988. It was the only three-box pickup truck (or coupé utility) ever sold in the 550 cc era of the kei car class; most other kei trucks use a cab-over design. It was classified as a commercial vehicle in Japan and Australia so as to benefit from lower taxes for such vehicles, but its utility was restricted by its unconventional design.
While the Mighty Boy was not a runaway success and was never replaced in the Suzuki lineup, the car still has a dedicated following in Japan.[citation needed]
