Hopefully something else will pop up for you.

Before starting a family, I used to drive a Nissan Hardbody 4x4. GREAT little truck! Easy on the gas, very light, and the gearing was okay for the mild off-roading I did on the Big Island. If I were to get another truck, I would definitely look at Toyota. My friends who had Fords, Chevys (and GMC counterparts), and Dodges all switched to Toyotas for their combination of gas mileage, reliability, off-roading capability, and better than average resale value (at least here in Hawaii).

With that said, if I had a vehicle just for play, I'd get a Jeep to fix up. Nothing like a short wheelbase with compound low gearing to get you pretty much anywhere you want to go!

Good luck with your search!

pmbuko,
I have a 2005 Legacy Wagon GT. Last year Subaru made the wagon with a stick. Love that car!
