A friend of ours owns an older Hyundai H200 RHD for use on her rural Canada Post delivery route. Similar to below. I'm out in the countryside a lot for work and I see a lot of those rural Canada Post drivers (the ones that use their own vehicles, not CP vehicles) buying RHD so they can just pull up to the road side mailbox and drop the mail in.

I'm on my second Camry Hybrid. I'm leasing from the dealer, had the first one for 4 years and picked up my second one last year. Luckily I was ordering it before the supply chain crunch got too bad, but I did have the one I ordered cancelled out from under me. (He managed to find a similar one for me at least).

I'll probably keep this one for another 3-4 years and either go for another hybrid or go full into an EV at that point. It's only being used to get me from home to work or some errands around the city, and occasional trips up to my home town, so I'm certainly not putting the klicks on it. I could probably go full EV already, but I want to let the systems develop a bit more before making the jump.

There’s a fair amount of domestic Japanese RHD vehicles in BC. Like WA the climate in the Lower Mainland is kind to them, plus we can bring them in at 15 years while Americans have to wait 25 I believe. Lots of Mitsubishi off-roaders like the Delica and Pajero.

^ Nice truck but looks more suited for mall crawling than actual serious off roading. I don't see any light bars or pods, no winch or recovery shackles, no Maxtrax recovery boards, no jerry cans, no snorkel, no rock sliders, not even a skid plate. Those wheels don't look like they'd be durable enough for rough terrain either.

Kinda reminds me of this:

The iced coffee on the fender and parking posture really speaks volumes.

Yes there's a ton of right hand drive Delicas in my part of the country. Popular with the hippies for some reason.
