I had a 2WD '89 Nissan pickup that was near-perfect when we lived in Hilo a couple of years back (save for the clearance - couldn't handle the potholes on some of the rougher backroads). Gotta say, I still miss that truck!
Now we're thinking about shipping out Subaru Outback over in June for our return but I'm still vascillating about clearance issues - we like to go to a lot of out-of-the-way places. Trying to think of some not-too-big rigs with good gas mileage, clearance, AND enough seating for coolers/family/guests...basically a unicorn.
I am also looking for my parents who are Kona-side on a fairly steep coffee farm. Thinking Mom's Prius just won't do.
Honda CRV, Toyota Rav4?
Good people of Puna, what are your thoughts?
