Proton Jumbuck ute alternative
The short answer is no-one. Subaru was first with a half-tonne ute in its Brumby, which I owned and loved. But it has no plans for a replacement and neither does Proton, as all utes are now one-tonne and bigger. Hyundai revealed a ute based on the ix35 compact SUV at Detroit, but any production version is still a couple of years away.

Checking out a brumby
THE Brumby is a good choice provided it is in good condition. They were a tough little truck, too tough for their own good, really, because some uncaring owners pushed them beyond reasonable limits in the belief they couldn't be broken. Look for underbody damage that would indicate a rough life off-road, and check drivelines carefully, particularly looking for damaged or split driveshaft rubber boots. They damage relatively easily and if not found and fixed quickly can lead to further damage to the driveshaft joints from mud and dirt.

Extra brumby gear
The Brumby had a four-speed manual right to the end. It's possible someone has fitted a five-speed to improve highway performance, but it would have been a private conversion.
