Most around here buy them used. It seems like the oppressive Jap taxation system really nips vehicles that are a few years old. They put them on ships and send the used ones over. I have seen a number of them for 4-5000. Dumpers go for more.

The one I drove was on a farm started by crossing a creek and back on some ATV trails. Then drove it to town and back. It had low range, 4wd with lockers. The sides and back of the bed folded down. The engine was under the bed.

I would like one for hauling firewood from the back woods but I needed a tractor more. So it is still on my list. A lot of hunters will used them as a blind. Works great when it is cold and raining.
