This allows us to mention “BMW”, “Daihatsu”, and “Daihatsu” in one sentence.

1984 was the year. Daihatsu began production of the Rugger as a direct replacement to the TAFT (Tough Almighty Fourwheeldrive Transport), that had been in existence for approximately 10 years. Different names were used to sell the new 4×4 model, including Rocky in most of the export markets and Fourtrak here in the U.K. The model was also sold in Japan by Toyota as the Blizzard.

A second generation was created around the 1980s. Bertone, a famous Italian design house, modified the body and built it at home in Italy. The Bertone Freeclimber was born. It was made available until 1992, when the first-generation Rugger was discontinued. What makes it so special?

Bertone’s custom coachwork made it stand apart from the regular version. This was due to its quad headlight arrangement and custom front grille. The Ruote O.Z. The package also included wheels and a much larger selection of standard equipment than the regular Rugger.

The 1991 Bertone Freeclimber has been sold after 17 bids on ebay. The listing is scheduled to close tomorrow.
