I still don't get it.
Like an underhanded snigger.

But that word might :triggered: some.

So I went with :pftch: which represents a stifled lip-biting laugh.

It's the right answer TBH. Needs minimal work to live in, mostly just outside work to make more offroady. Nobody wants them so the values are pretty reasonable too. This one for $11k is great

I have missed some of this thread, but have minivans been discussed? Haven't Siennas been made in AWD? Would probably be more fuel efficient and comfy, easier to live with on long highway stretches. No brubs :doe: , and sleeping in the panel van might be nicer.

One of my buddies did a several month trip like this FWIW... he used a Mercury Villager (this was probably 10 years ago).

Need some bit of ground clearance. Not for wheeling, but to go a bit farther off the grid. Would be tough to do in a minivan, but the minivan is certainly the best option if that wasn't a concern.

That camper is perfect. That thing behind a Crosstrek is / :bread:

Lets be real, that van would blow to drive for more than a few hours in. Good luck getting over the Rockies too.

Does it need cruise control when your foot has to be on the floor at all times?
