    How Bad Are American Vehicles

    Yes, you can purchase a full size 4 door full sized truck for that price pretty easily. I don't know what LHD means? Getting one with lockers will be a issue.

    22 inch all terrains for sand and gravel roads only

    Most of us 16" to 18" wheels so we can air down. a 22" wheel might look good but doesn't have a large foot print when aired down. Running on sand I float pretty well at 15 to 18 psi. My tires are 315, 70r 17 E rated. The rig is a Ram 2500 long bed 4 door.
