Landcruiser 78 series with the 4.5L turbo diesel v8 and extended range fuel tanks.
They would also replace the Toyota badge bulls horns with a ford badge to satisfy the forum. Most reliable ford ever! |

They'd probably take a Bushmaster.
Like horses, you'd think they'd be reliable, but looks can be deceiving.

Anything but a Sportwagon, because it couldn't fit a satellite phone in the boot.

How could you go past the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor especially with the 6.2l 400HP donk.
These things are also supposed to have 13 inches of wheel travel in the rear so it should give a comfy ride for a long trip.

Going by the options provided, I went for the BA RTVs, but if I had my pick, I would definetly go the Land Cruiser Troocarrier. Unstoppable!

A pair of these, then:
__________________
 BAII RTV - with Raptor V S/C. RTV Power FG G6ET 50th Anniversary in Sensation. While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

Who said you have to travel without any luxuries? I'm sure that one of these would have been at the top of their list.
