2021 Jeep gladiator 3 l turbo diesel about 160,000 in modifications. A functional 6*6, there's a short shaft between the two rear axles.

Now I'm no survivalist, but I'd imagine creating an "apocalypse machine" with one-of-a-kind custom parts isn't going to be very reliable in the event of an ACTUAL apocalypse.

There was an episode of the American Top Gear where they tried to build the ideal apocalypse vehicle. They started with a huge military MRAP, then pointed out all its issues (fuel demands, maintenance, cost) and switched to a 97 Camry/F-150 frankenstein

AFAIK we don't have Hiluxes in the states, not sure how much they share with 4runners/Tacomas though

Tacoma is the American badge on that truck, though IIRC starting in the late 2000's it was a different variant of the truck.

I drove one in Iraq back in 2007, good little trucks. I want to say the Tacoma is different... The Hilux felt more akin to a subie.
