A few years from now I want to bring a truck down when I move. Yep--I know, the duty fees are high. Ideally I'd just buy a car there and be good to go, but I need something until then, maybe 8 years from now. I'm looking at used trucks about 10+ years old.
So, if you broke down in the remotest parts of the country, what truck could you get most easily fixed? And what one would you avoid--no mechanic works on those, and/or it could take weeks to get a part? Having a dealership in Belize City doesn't necessarily mean it is easy to get it fixed in Orange Walk Town, I'm guessing.
The question isn't the reliability of the car--it is really 'can you get it fixed easily'. I'm mechanically inclined, but all cars eventually break down.
I'd get a Toyota Hi-lux diesel but they aren't sold in the US. I'm thinking a Dodge Dakota 4 or another small 4 door truck, but curious if that is a wise move. Maybe US cars are hard to get parts for, who knows? Any ideas?
