Sealbilly, I've ridden around a farm in one of the jap. trucks, it had slick tires and we went all over the place in mud and snow I couldn't believe how well it went. I looked around thinking it would be good for my grandfather to use on his farm and orchard but availability and pricing soon ended the search. Bought a nisson pathfinder a few years back for a hunting truck, it works great, it's so small it will go about anywhere you can take these new UTVs. They seem to sell a lot cheaper locally than 4x4 pickups. I got mine for $1500, cheaper than a decent ATV and street legal!
