The author mentions not wanting a Ranger or Tacoma, but I still think those are better options especially considering the drivers position…

Even better is a 80’s/90’s full size 2 door pickup. Same size as a modern Tacoma/Ranger, but with payloads comparable to todays F250’s. Throw in working AC, airbags, and a wealth of cheap replacement parts and it’s a no-brainer
