The 2 tonne (payload) 4x4 Mitsubishi Canters, Isuzu (NPS?) and the Toyota Dyna may not be available in Europe as I doubt they have engines that comply with Euro4 (??) standards or maybe they cant be bothered with getting them to comply as there is more than enough demand in Asia/Pacific and the Middle east for light Jap trucks at present.
Plenty of the above in Australia, used by the rural fire services, local councils, railways, etc.
My local council has several that have been fitted with wide profile tyres for use on the beach.
They are not Unimogs, but they will go and do some rough stuff, they just wont last as long. You dont get the portal axles or diff locks or the price of a Unimog either.
