What Is the Shitzu Keitora?
The Keitora takes its name from the Japanese word 軽トラ (kei-to-ra), meaning “light truck” — and that’s exactly what it is. In the real world, it draws heavily from the Suzuki Carry, an iconic Japanese mini-truck known for its compact frame, short wheelbase, and boxy no-nonsense design. GTA’s version blends in design cues from the Suzuki Ravi’s wheel wells, the Daihatsu Hijet’s grille and headlights, and tail lights inspired by the Honda Acty.
In-game, it sits in the Utility class, weighs just 670 kg — making it one of the lightest vehicles in its segment — and uses a rear-wheel-drive layout that makes every corner an invitation to slide.
Performance: Built for Drift, Not Drag
Let’s be real — the Keitora won’t top a straight-line speed chart. With a game-file top speed of just 62.76 mph (101 km/h), it’s never going to outrun a supercar. But that was never the point.
What the Keitora excels at is drift performance. Its light 670 kg frame combined with RWD gives it sharp, predictable handling that responds beautifully to throttle inputs. Apply the Drift Tuning modification at the LS Car Meet and you unlock a whole new level of sideways fun — note that enabling Drift Tuning disables other performance upgrades, so it’s a dedicated drift build only.
For competitive drift races, this little truck punches way above its weight class.
Is the Shitzu Keitora Worth $810,000?
If you’re a drift enthusiast or simply want something unique and fun in your garage, absolutely yes. It’s not a meta vehicle for standard races, but it is one of the most entertaining drives in GTA Online right now, especially during the current drift-focused week offering Triple GTA$ & RP on Drift Races.
