as far as I know the carry van/ute is not 4x4.
depending on the model you will get:
1 litre with a 4 speed manual
1 litre with a 5 speed manual
1.3 litre with a 5 speed manual
not sure on diff ratios.

you cn get new suzuki carry utes (99 on i think) from suzuki queensland in 4x4
they are g13bb 16v and 5 speed. have no idea if they have low range
the 3cy jap ones that joe mentioned are 550cc and 660cc (mos are non turbo)
early oners are all 4 speed with low range tranfer
later ones could be either 4 speed with low range tranfer
or 5 speed + EL (extra low) they have eectronic diff locks and the el wih a rati of 6.26 only could be engage whilst in 4wd mode. i have been trying o find out if this gearbox had a seprate slave type 1 to 1 tranfer or if the front and rea drive shafts go directly to the gearbox.
if it was a slave setup think gwagensteve wold wet his pants. imagine having a `six speed gear box` and a tranfer box
i have been keeping eye out for over a year for an old one... yahoo motorsports where flogging these for $1500 under the 15 year rule, only last week a newcastle dealer had an 88 model with very low ks for $6990 but for that price you might as well go for a new one.
also i may get blasted for saying this but daihatsu came to aus during the 80`s in a 4x4 3cyl 1l... so poer wise it may be a little better (bets you it the same motor block as the 1.3l charades)

i had one as a work car only a year or two ago and it was new from the dealer it was 4wd looked like the one on the beach up the top and it had the same engine as the jiminy. it went like a rocket even did monos if you tried hard enough.
no low range
