Where I live, hunters use a Lada 4x4 or a Suzuki Jimny.
Farmers use tractors.
Tradesmen use vans.
Heavy machinery contractors use flatbed trucks.

A pickup truck just seems like the worst of all worlds.

I would hate lifting a moose into a modern truck, the bed is 3-4 feet off the ground. I'd sooner put a tarp in a minivan and use that.

I'm still seeing a few Fiat Panda 4x4 being used too.

If you hadn't written what you wrote, I would have been sure that was (amazingly) a Yugo.

I can see that. It just needs true 4 wheel drive and a short wheelbase.
