Body notes
- Mazda never sold a short wheelbase Scrum Truck to match the FC (ja.wikipedia). A Scrum of 2005 to 2013 is always the long wheelbase DG63T.
- The DA65T is the layout the 2013 DA16T standardised on, so its cab footprint is closer to today's Carry than to the DA63T sold beside it.
- Turns 25 from November 2030, not August 2030 as engines.json has it.

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