If you're not sure whether you want an SUV or a pickup, you can essentially have them both with the Ford Explorer Sport Trac, a vehicle that was as much of a genre-buster when it first went on sale for the 2001 model year as it was at the time of its discontinuation after the 2010 model year. The top rival to the Sport Trac for some of the time...
I own a 2005 model here in Scotland. Bought it second hand three months ago, but took me over a month to get it registered and insured. I would be glad to contact other owners in the UK to discuss and exchange opinions on parts sourcing, servicing, etc.
