HONDA · 1996–1999
Late HA3/HA4
The late HA3/HA4 body retains the compact Acty proportions with revised exterior details. The reference shows the later clear-indicator style.
These dates describe this guide’s coverage. Changeover years may show two bodies; 2001 is the library cutoff, not necessarily the model’s final year.
Choose a year in this version
You’re viewing 1996 within the 1996–1999 version. A calendar year does not automatically mean a new version. Check the production month and chassis plate.
Engine
Confirm the engine identifier against the vehicle documents; this is the pre-1999 HA3/HA4 family.
Drive & transmission
The 1996 release lists 2WD and 4WD. Selected 2WD versions offered 3AT; STD was excluded from that option.
Identification
Late HA3/HA4
Match the complete chassis code to the truck’s documents. Related bodies and reference photographs do not confirm a factory grade.
Factory grades & equipment
Factory grades describe equipment. Auction grades describe condition; they are different.
| Grade / specification | What is documented |
|---|---|
| STD | Listed as a 2WD work specification in the January 1996 release. |
| SDX / TOWN | Both appear in 2WD and 4WD in the 1996 price table. Air conditioning was separately priced for trucks. |
| ATTACK | Listed as a 4WD truck. Inspect its exact work equipment and controls. |
Version changes & milestones
- January 1996: equipment update.
- May 1999: the next Acty truck family launched; early and late bodies overlap in calendar-year searches.
Rarity & value
Reliable production counts and comparable completed-sale evidence have not been verified sufficiently to rank this version’s grades. We do not label a grade “rarest” or “most valuable” without that evidence.
Compare documented specification, structural condition, maintenance and the complete quoted cost. Original trim level alone does not establish resale value.
Evidence reviewed: 19 September 2026.Before choosing this truck
- Confirm production details, frame plate and original documents.
- Ask for cab-floor and underbody photographs, known defects and repair history.
- Verify engine, drivetrain, steering and air conditioning on the actual vehicle.
- Check replacement-parts availability and wheel fitment for the exact chassis.
- Discuss your destination, intended use and preparation requirements before ordering.
