No not going from a 23 yo car to an 18 yo car for remote trips.......
Have you thought of getting a D2a (these are cheap buys these days).
Rip out the rear seats and you have as much room (probably more room) as the small twin cabs have and you get the comfort/refinement at the same time
You only get one shot at life, Aim well

If you can wait the new Ranger will have V6 diesel & permanent all wheel drive as well as transfer case for dual range./
The V6 will be the Ford F150 diesel that has been modified to fix crank issues
Amarok will be same car different body.
We have VW to thank for insisting on V6 & AWD.
Should be a great car but will be expensive.

I think the new Navara is pretty good, Triton now has 10 year warranty, hard to beat, but you can bend the chassis I believe. Coils all round too.

Sorry, meant the Navarra has coils all round.
I can remember a thread on the now defunct Outer Limits about twisted Nissan chassis years ago, dunno which model it was.
There are heaps of pics of Navaras with bent chassis if you goog it.
Some of the bent Triton chassis were fitted with aftermarket camper units that had the water tank well behind the rear axle. Pics of them on here somewhere.
There are also a few pics of 130 Defs on here with ambitious camper add ons that bent.

RRC's would bend at the chassis wall if seriously flogged in the bush..... LRA used to sell reinforcing plates.
