I used to borrow the twin cab diesel pick up used for rubber lining at mines in S Africa from a company I worked for called Linatex. The fitter borrowed my Toyota Carolla hire car & I took his Hilux up to Pilansberg for a weeked camping in a game park. What a vehicle in the veld. It came back covered in red dust as I was I from the dirt roads. The bed of the pick up let me bring a few Castles & some Klipdift along. Absolute heaven to get back to nature and impossible without that slow noisy Hilux.
The pleasure of making a BBQ starting with wood by your tent, sipping a beer after a hrad days drive & allowing the wood to turn to hot coals and then after dinner watching the stars appear was immense.

Here are some of the locals.

If anyone offered me that vehicular experience again I wouldn't say no.
