That's funny, this got me googling around and I discovered my mistake. I thought that looked like a retro Toyota grill. Definitely in love with the Land Cruiser 70.

Unfortunately we can't get them in the states. Truly rugged bare bones vehicles have sold so poorly in the U.S. that a base Ford pickup is about the simplest thing you can buy here.

In the mining industry our utility trucks are often still boxy like this.
