Hilux
May 3 2009, 5:52 AM EDT | Post edited: May 3 2009, 5:52 AM EDT
The only truck worth bothering with. It has been driven to the North Pole. It has been blown up, set on fire, and still refuses to die. There is a reason that news footage shows people in Afghanistan, Libya, etc driving round sat in the back of one. They are 30 years old and still working.

I'm looking for a good mod list, which I'll add once I have speeced it for Zack running.
 Do you find this valuable?

While yes the Toyota Hilux (The older Toyota pickups for those of us stateside) is a great vehicle, it isn't the only good truck available. Try almost any Land Rover, the Jeep Wrangler, the Toyota LandCruiser, the Mercedes-Benz Unimog, the International CXT and the older Scouts, the Ford F-series trucks, the H1 Hummer, the Mazda B-series pickups, the list goes on.

Forgot that one, though I did leave the list open. And I was listing more off-road suited vehicles, where as the Ram 3500 is more suited for towing on-road. Do you find this valuable?

thats why I was looking at the blazer for off road since the street would be packed. Do you find this valuable?

No, a Blazer would not be very good off-road unless you invest serious money into modifying it. A better starting point would be an old Land Rover Defender, or Jeep Wrangler, etc. And the streets probably won't be universaly packed, most people will probably die in their homes.

I never said that, but having a vehicle that can handle rough terrain and some small bodies of water without getting overwhelmed would be invaluable. Do you find this valuable?

Sub 3-second is a but much, but something between 5-6 to 60 would be nice. Do you find this valuable?
