    Need help with vehicle spec

    Trying to help my Mums partner find the spec of 4x4 he is after - which is quite particular and I’m struggling to find something suitable.

    Requirements are:-

    - 4x4 Extra cab prefered - NOT dual cab as he wants a tray long enough to sleep in.
    - secondhand but only a few years old
    - Japanese/Korean, not European.
    - Base model MUST have wind up windows and manual locking (no idea why but it does)
    - Cab chassis with alloy tray.
    - Budget up $30 to $32K all up with Canopy but anything from $20K.

    So, any ideas? I can’t seem to find anything with the basic features he is after. The Toyota Hilux Workmates I’ve found on line are only 4x2 - do the years do a 4x4 version in a single or extra cab?

    Before anyone asks why to any of these questions, all you need to know is that he’s a crusty old fart that’s set in his ways, won’t take any form of feedback about what’s could be a better option, has his mind set on the above only, no correspondence will be entered into.... 😁
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    -Hi-lux does extra cab
    -Manual locking can still be done...suppose you could put the remote in the glove box
    - I think he will struggle finding one with wind up windows.
    - <3yo might be tight on the budget for a Toyota

    Isuzu does a "Space Cab" DMAX. Dunno about manual windows though. EVERYTHING has electric theses days. Well, apart from Defenders...

    The Lux is the only one I know of with manual windows which (appears to be a) show stopper. You can always disconnect or disable central locking.

    Budget may be a show stopper.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
