I drive a 4 door pickup :-)
Not one available in the US, I reckon - and to be absolutely honest, the bed is only used to haul weekly groceries, school bags and the occasional fishing gear.
Spotted: If two is good, four is better
And I'm not talking about cylinders, I'm talking about doors. And specifically about Pickup Doors. Pickups are known across the world but their use as passenger carriers is primarily an American phenomenon. My thoughts on this began a few weeks ago. We we...
You are the master of automotive posts :)
Another enjoyable installment from you Pickups are largely absent from the automotive landscape here (the practical part of their brief has historically been carried out by vans over here), so it's always fun to look across the fence - thanks for another ...
Thanks for the encouragement
I'm sorry we never spotted a Hummer Pickup on that search (shown here next to my 2CV Van - thank God I didn't buy it but I was sorely tempted) Nor one of these International Harvest Xtreme pickups. A bit much for a trip to the gym and a stop for some Perr...
Fully agreed...
Was there not a version of the Mercedes Unimog especially for the US market, too?
Absolutely. Hang on a moment and I'll put one up for you
This one is badged Mercedes but I am sure I've got a Unimog somewhere, but where?? ...
"driving a Mog is like sitting in a 55 gallon drum while 10 guys beat the side of it with sledgehammers"
I had a job once ... much like that... Mike
Very cool!
But this is the bona fide, military one, not the civilian 'luxury' version.
I have driven a Unimog...
...and completely agree with Mike. The only saving grace of the geared hubs is the ground clearance, everything else is compromised, a truck on a truck.

Do they charge extra on the ferry?
For its length or height? No we don't have that one though a new Ranger pickup is thought to be coming soon. Cheers, Cazalea
The rates are different
But not for length or height. The rates differ for different body classes and a pickup sits in the same category as light commercial trucks, hence a higher rate. Same applies to some toll roads. I get great mileage on the 2.2 turbo diesel though.
Correct - 4 Is Better Than Two
This is my 1992 Toyota Hilux SSR LN107. It has a 3L (2800 CC 4 cylinder diesel) motor with a 5 speed manual transmission, and is my daily driver. Yes, it's RHD, slower than a tortoise (90 BHP), and great fun to drive. It's the root cause of many strained ...
