    Judging by the design of the driver door, I’m guessing this is a 90’s Sambar, which indeed does have a bed length of 6.5ft and a width of 4.5ft.

    Also, this is normal: “They generally have 1.8 m (6 ft) pickup beds with fold-down sides; dump and scissor-lift beds are also available, as are van bodies. The length limitation forces all of these models into a cab-forward design.”

      The sanbar has a horizontal door handle, not a vertical door handle.

      IF (and again, based on the wheel in the bed of that truck I’m saying it’s sub 5ft in length) that bed was 6ft that also means it’s not the same size. Which still means that information in the post is inaccurate.

      Kei trucks are limited to a maximum length of 3.4 m (134 in), a maximum width of 1.48 m (58 in). At a maximum length it would be half the size of the Silverado, which is definitely isn’t. A Silverado with the crew cab and 5.5ft bed is 242in in length and 81 inches in width.

        Ah You’re right, the window design is also straight cross the bottom rather than curved. My new guess is a Honda Acty, which is only 6.3ft. Ill update the comments

        And to be fair I upvoted your comment as I agreed it looked more like a 4.5ft bed. But then I looked it up.

        I don’t really understand the comment about the Silvarado. Are you saying a silvarado has a bed longer than 6.5ft?

          The Silverado is my scale. That’s why I mention its size.

          The Suzuki Carry, which has a tire size of 145/70r12. That’s a diameter of 20 inches. The tire looks to be about 3x the bed length of the Kei Truck. I think it’s closer to 2.75xs the tire, but at 3x it’s still 5ft.

          I’m mentioning sizes of things for scale. It provides us with a way of identifying the potential length.
