If you are interested in going on the highway, and if you also value protection from heat, humidity, cold weather, rain etc you might go back to the mini-truck concept and give that some more thought.

This location is really into refurbishing, customizing all sorts of mini trucks. They can do standard road tires, off road tires, over sized tires, even tracks. The cab is quiet, bug proof, warm, not sure about the a/c option but probably is possible.

Compact, dump bed option, built stronger than any UTV and engine will last lots longer.

Just not so 'sporty' looking. You would have to go used to stay under $15k or so.

For as long as this facebook posting is up, see if you can browse pictures here. There is another place about an hour north of us that also has several mini truck options for sale and specializes in this market.
