About 5 years ago during a vacation to Brasil I went on a 3 day tour to some cool remote beach village.
The first 5 hours of the trip were on a tourbus, but the last hour or so we had to get out of the bus and the group was devided over a bunch of pickups.
I got to ride shotgun in one of those Brasilian D20 swb's.
Besides their strange appearance the thing that strcuk me the most was the fact that they were driving thru the sandy terrain and the dunes with 2 wd trucks!!
Mechanically very different too; a noisy as hell 4 cylinder diesel (not sure if it was an Isuzu engine?!?)but nothing like the modern diesels, and they had a 4 on the floor.

When we got to the beach all the other cars/trucks there were 4x4's.....

BTW what kind of seat belt did the guy with the red truck use? C/K1500?!?
