What kind of vehicle is best for Puna?

[Kenney]

I love my Corollas. They're all we need in HPP. We easily get 200,000+ miles out of them. Unless you live in Hawaiian Acres, there's no need for an expensive truck. We can always find a neighbor with a truck willing to haul big stuff for us for gas $ and a bit of fruit or whatever else we have in surplus in trade.
I agree that a spare vehicle is a must. It's nice not to be stranded at home while the main vehicle is in use. Happy trails!
