All the couples drive extra cab pickups. They are either Nissan or Isuzu. The vehicle we had our accident in was a Nissan but the one we are currently driving is an Isuzu. This one actually belongs to The Church Education System but they are currently short two couples so this was available. The only young Elders with a vehicle are the Assistants and it is another pickup. There is a van assigned to the to the Mission Office. The President drives a stripped down version of a Durango and his wife has a car but she is no more anxious to drive than Sister Bishop so I have never seen it.
The Isuzu is the better pickup as it has a power torque engine and a lower gear ratio which is much more conducive to the driving conditions we encounter. Those conditions are really beyond description although the ones we witnessed in Brazil are close. We are averaging about 2,000 kms each week. We are hoping that if and when the Nissan is repaired that it finds a new home. I have been dropping hints but who knows?
