I’m thinking of getting a new 4×4 instead of another round of mods. Pretty much only one option these days, the Toyota LandCruiser 7-series. New engine/powertrain, but otherwise as simple as ever. Just a car that won’t let you down if shit fails in the middle of no where…well, apart from the shit that failed, but that’s usually repairable in a couple hours with basic tools and a spare parts or workaround.
The only other way to get that is buying an old car and keeping the money in it to keep it running well and modernised (speakers, nav, lights, etc.)
As you Americans call it, a “truck” should only be about chassis, powertrain, suspension, repairability, and practicality. If you want more than that, you can, but the base shouldn’t have shit all through it already, stuff that has little to do with the whole concept of why you’d have a truck.
My 2003 dodge ram is still kicken after 260,000 miles. If it dies on me I’m gonna crashout. New cars are impossible to maintain I stg

Serious question because I’m also banking on my 08 corolla lasting forever - how do you know the new land cruiser is simple and reliable?
