This has been discussed in other threads. Short version:
- pickup truck (with or without camper shell) or SUV
- Toyota (Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner) or other import, not domestic
- best to ship from mainland
- 4WD "nice to have" but may not be "required" (my experience; depends on subdivision)
- high clearance more important than 4WD
Reason for shipping: suitable local vehicles will be premium priced and have usually been abused on the "unmaintained private road-shaped lots".
Unlike other states: up to a years' worth of unexpired registration will be credited towards a new Hawaii registration; any license from another state is valid until it expires.
