If 10 years younger i would consider a new Toyota 150 ( a mate is), but safe in the knowledge that it must be delivered in summer so it never sees any salt and that Toyota are happy to still warrant the vehicle despite it going straight for professional further chassis painting and then full underbody and cavity sealing with something like Krown.
The vehicle would also be a fairly basic version to keep it under the threshold for crippling VED costs, if this wasn't feasable then i wouldn't be averse to a Hilux again.
As far as i know they are the only maker to have addressed sensibly the likely DPF problems that could be encountered by local journeys on the 2.8 engine.
A switch allowing the owner to trigger static regens if needed, whether that also allows the triggering of a moving regen when you, the driver, are embarking on a decent length journey i know not but at least some system of exhaust maintenance has been provided, its as close as possible to the systems found on full size trucks these days and i personally praise Toyota for having enough faith in their buyers and not appearing to assume they are dimwits incapable of judging something like this for themselves, which other makers seem to think of the competence of their buyers.
I don't think anyone else makes anything normally for sale here that is relatively simple, the Ineos Grenadier if it's ever finally up for sale might be a contender, only time will tell, they'd better hurry up because Bunter and his Junta are signed up to the electric car scam, (as well as every other scam going) and time is running out.
You won't believe how ridiculously complicated, with too many warning faults cropping up is now the norm even in heavy trucks, many now saddled with electric parking brakes, cameras instead of mirrors/facepalm) and more switches and menus than enough, it won't come as a surprise that the more electronic tat fitted the more could, and does, go wrong.
A mate of mine once believed that should a maker experiment with making fairly basic vehicles again would prosper with those of us who don't want toys but do want reliable/durable, those kit built Maestros didn't sell too well, but modern Dacias are very popular so there is a marekt that doesn't value overpriced German brands stuffed with electrics.
