What kind of vehicle is best for Puna?

[DCrefugee]

Hi all! My family and I are looking to move to Puna in July/August and we'd hoped to buy a vehicle when we arrived, rather than deal with the hassles of shipping, but it appears that our current car isn't going to cooperate with that plan.

I know we will need 4WD for the unpaved roads and plenty of space for loading up on Costco trips, but I'm not sure which brands would be easiest to maintain on the BI. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
