When Top Gear chained the thing down to go through a cycle of the tides in the fucking North Atlantic and their mechanics could restart the thing on the fucking beach...
Only thing that could serve better as a technical would be one of those blocky volvos from the 80's and 90's, if they had a pickup version and bigger wheels.
A redblock Volvo 240 technical would be fucking indestructible.
Ah fuck this brings up memories, we had a hylux that we shared in the company that was mostly used for bringing people to and from the flightline. Since it was a manual, I was one of the ones that could drive it. I loved cruising along the runway at night, listening to the one radio station with the windows down as helicopters and planes were taking off and landing. I loved that truck.
