I'm looking at buying a used single cab pickup, a 1000 kg load is enough, but I want the most reliable , cheapest to run , no frills, Diesel . I'm moving to an off grid remote property, I don't plan on huge miles on the clock but I will need to ferry logs, building materiels and such, and be mobile in the winter.

I'd consider ex military or commercial vehicles.

What are my options ?

No frills single cab, won't go far wrong with an Isuzu rodeo.

Although any old school truck should be relatively hardy with little too go wrong.

We have a vauxhall brava (rebadged rodeo), never had any issues that weren't age related (suspension refresh) or service items.
