Well being in the US, I prefer a late 60's Ford F100 4x4. Of course parts are harder to comeby, but they are better made IMO than the new ones. An alternative is an early model Toyota SR-5 4x4 with the 22R engine. IMO the best little four-cylinder going.. had one that I had 240K miles on and never had the valvecovers or pan off. ONLY problem I ever had was the tranny main bearing went at 70K and they fixed it for 1/2 the price normal, and a waterpump went.. strong little engine, vehicle light enough to be able to maneuver where heaver trucks couldn't, and still carry what you need...
