Good example of this is the Toyota trucks built for the UN: https://www.offgridweb.com/transportation/toyota-gibraltar-the-secret-factory-that-builds-trucks-for-the-un/

Dead simple and illegal to import to the US.

Yeah. They also have the land cruiser troop carrier in Australia that is very nice. Simple and nice, I wish I could buy one of those. They last forever, and still have leaf springs! oh, I just looked at the article, this is the same thing we are thinking about. The NGO use all of these cars.

I would love to be able to buy one. Beautiful utilitarian vehicles. North American vehicles have far too many frills and other nonsense.

no, that wouldnt be possible. The vehicles are out there for some, not for others. You just have to live with the restrictions.

I believe the same thing. I drive a 1992 Mazda Protege, its very simple and easy to use. I wish it held up better too rust, but it is what it is. The beauty is in the utilitarian value of the vehicle. Always loved how the simple white toyotas looked.
