@Pajero_Mo I love and would suggest the C or the E55, 63's as these are common in UAE and finding spare parts wont be a big deal but if you want to stick with pure Japanese engines you might want to see the reviews of the boxer engines of the Subaru's or 86's but for sure to find a well maintained vehicle in 30k price tag will be impossible, However, 350, 370'Z should be a good option to hit 100km/hr in 5 - 7 sec. range. All the best !

@Fuad - Hope you enjoy the stay, See ya soon !

Pickup trucks offers a lot of options to choose by configuring your truck the way how you want it, They have a strong, ladder style frames, so the body is separate from the chassis and this makes them tough & can carry heavy loads, also handle off roading with ease when driven by a experienced driver. These days buying a truck has become popular, also buying them has become difficult because there are so many options, Some of the manufacturers also provide options like selecting the cab, bed length, transmission, and the engine you want. Besides, this makes them versatile. So you can use them for different purposes like family, hauling, off roading, towing, carrying heavy loads etc. I still remember those days where I used to be a part of an off-road group in KSA, Every weekend convoy drives we had a minimum of 2 trucks during long drives, camping. These trucks were well equipped with generators, refrigerators, tools, tents, carpets, gas, water tanks, fire wood and lots of food. I was looking out for some old pictures in my phone, Unfortunately most are gone but found a picture from my Instagram that I had posted in March 2016 (3 different Ford trucks, 2 stock but well equipped for camping activities)

Always loved this G. Cherokee, Congratulations. Enjoy and drive safe !

@Fuad - Lets do a convoy from Al Ain to the destination (Rifadha) @Barry - I have 2 seats reserved for you, if in case Most Welcome ! Cheers! Mathew

My personal opinion on what matters the most for me is the reliability of the vehicle, should provide adequate power on and off road, with a 3rd row fold-able seat when required, In addition to that Cruise control is my good friend during the highway rides by not only maintaining speed limits but also to be fuel efficient. At the end of the day, We get what we pay for !

@Gaurav: Sorry I won't be able to make it for the Newbie drive tomrw as I hav commited with friends to go for a drive towards Zakher lake.
