It will interesting to see how the British Army gets on without a
basic utilarian home built 4x4 to use, though some schools of thoughts
suggest that even there a polarization of roles has taken place .

Yes, I think the military are going much more specialised rather than
having a general vehicle (made, as you rightly say, of tin foil).

Such vehicles then become too expensive to be used as general run
arounds so something like one of the 4x4 crewcab pickups may be used
for that,after all they work for many of the various forces fighting
in conflict zones around the world.

Much as we all wish it wasn't, the biggest advert possible for the
Toyota Hilux is its use by terrorist groups - if they can keep them
going in the conditions they are using them in permanent war zones, it
isn't going to break down on your farm. And a pickup, with the part
containing the cow**** separated from the part containing the people,
is probably a more practical farm vehicle anyway - indeed, many farmers
used to opt for Defender pickups, often with canvas backs.
