We had several mini pickups at home. They were very useful and we had a technique for going anywhere with three adults in the front which was that the one in the middle operated the gears.
You could actually fit three midgets in the cab and drive?We had several mini pickups at home. They were very useful and we had a technique for going anywhere with three adults in the front which was that the one in the middle operated the gears.
We were all 6 foot or so but you wouldn’t go far without losing all feeling in your legs. My wife had a Datsun 1200 pickup when i met her in Kenya they were called the Datsun ‘debe’ ( debe means bucket ). We swapped that for a Subaru and we thought we had really made it.You could actually fit three midgets in the cab and drive?
A Rav 4 would be great with a low range I always find first gears abit highSomething toyota rav 4 size with 2 or 4 wd and 45 mpg would be good
We had one stolen by hippies after the Bardney Pop Festival in the early seventies. My uncle luckily heard it leaving yard and gave chase in his Hillman Minx and was able to apprehend the felons or at least get the pickup back.@Lowland1 My first 3 vehicles were Mini Pickup's. Rabbit shooting on stubbles after harvest used to kill them! Courting was fun! But getting about used to be great. YFC and you could get 3 in front as has been said, bung the ones you were not so keen on or smoked in the back!! Bring back the Mini Pickup!!
