I picked up a 1994 Toyota Pickup for this exact reason. It's so insanely simple, they didn't even give it a proper name. One of the last true work horses, if it wasn't for that damn rusty frame.
- Gordonjcp 4y ago1997 Range Rover P38 owner here. Entirely gizmo-free and less rot-prone than old Toyotas.
- marssaxman 4y agoGod did I ever love my '92 Rover. Maybe I should get another one.
- Gordonjcp 4y ago'92 would be an RRC. Get a P38, they're a lot more "liveable" as a daily and they don't rot anything like as badly. Also an RRC is insanely expensive, and P38s have only just started the upward curve.
- marssaxman 4y agoAre they now? That's a shame; I sold my last one to a scrapyard after someone stole both cats out of it, a week before I was going to move - I just didn't have time to deal with it. I was always skeptical of the P38s because of the airbags. How do you deal with that over the long term?
- Gordonjcp 4y agoChange the bags every ten years or so. You can get aftermarket ones by Arnotts, but Dunlop still do them too. Apparently they're used in ambulances, too. I won't say I've never had EAS problems but it's never left me stuck, unlike coil springs.
