4x4 bus. Ugly color. Otherwise very well suited for this trip.

Please don't take Tundras. I think you'll regret it. As said previously-- USA only vehicle is going to stand out and be harder to get repaired. I've got a friend here w/ a Tundra. He hates getting parts for it here and just told me the other day that he just flies to Miami now, buys there, and flies back. RT air is less than $400 and he saves a week or three of downtime (and the parts are usually 2/3 the price anyway).

I'll stop mentioning 80s after this post..... but I still think that they would be cheaper, easier, and more comfy. What you spend on extra fuel, you'll recoup on lower purchase cost.
