Get an older pick-up that's in or close to that price range. That thing is an abomination. Driving that is more embarrassing than driving a Prius.

I have a 1998 Suzuki Carry with right hand drive. I got it as an alternative to a UTV for around the place.
Much bigger box than a UTV plus enclosed cab, heat, air conditioning, quieter, and cheaper to buy.
I have a pic somewhere but not on this laptop. Had a tree die, cut it down, bucked it up, and loaded the fuck
out of the thing with rounds to haul to where I wanted to put them. Took it like a champ although I'm pretty
sure I exceeded the rated capacity by four or five times. I just keep loading it until I think it's had enough
And it is registered/tagged for street use so I take it to town or the neighbors or the post office sometimes. I wouldn't drive it on the highway too much
but I did when I bought it ... flew to where I bought it and drove it home.
I don't care if anybody is embarassed by it; I'm not. It actually gets lots of compliments and interest.
The skinny tires tend to leave ruts so I'm going to get some adapters and put UTV or maybe golf cart turf tires on it. And a hitch.
There are companies out there with all sorts of upgrades if you want to lift it or otherwise ATV-ize the thing.
I also have a 1998 Delica 2.8 TD RHD. It gets better MPG than my F150 Eco 3.5, diesel has been cheaper vs 87 since
I've had it. I took all the seats out behind the two front seats and use it for everything, hauling whatever fits, slept in it many times,
and when I use it as my commute assault vehicle when I have to commute into the city - don't really care what happens to it.
Neither of them owe me anything at this point.
I love JDM imports. Would recommend.
