So keeping fuel and maintenance costs as low as possible should be a priority.
My father was a rural carrier for some years until a city route opened up. He (and most of his colleagues) simply went with a bench seat automatic something. He personally drove a Bronco II equiped thusly, plus 4x4 because MI winter.
Importing a RHD Land Rover sounds like the worst possible solution to this question. It is clearly what you need to do.
I have a friend who did rural route delivery for many years. He always used automatic Honda Civics.
Mr. Lee said:I recently started back to school for electrical engineering. Both end up at about the same pay level in about 4 years or so.
Based on how much I make working as an electrical engineer (who went to school for journalism) and how berking hard it has been for us to find remotely qualified employees (hence why we pay a journalist to do electrical engineering), I find this hard to believe... Hint: look into Architectural Engineering with a focus on electrical design.
Look for a Saturn SWP.
Cheap to buy, cheap to operate. And you'll get your money back out when it is time to sell.
