What she really wants is a mix of the two, The Off-road ability of the green one and the color of the silver one. she also likes the roof rack and tent of the green one.

You know Defender
This is the land rover Defender. I have not seen one personally in the USA but I saw a few runnin around Sweden when I was serving a church mission there. The Defender is the original Land Rover.
In Spain Land Rover contracted to a company named Santana to build the Defender out side the UK. Santana I guess was able to keep building them even after the contract ended with Land Rover. The Santana sported parabolic leaf springs and solid axles.
Santana is now owned by Iveco. Iveco did a little redesign and it looks like they made it fit in well with their Off-road line of trucks.http://www.off-road.iveco.com/
Iveco is an Italian company with a nice unimog lookin truck. Unfortunently no portal axles. I saw the 2wd version of these Ivecos all over Sweden.
This is their Pick-up.

Old Glory
Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism. George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796_____________All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?" Benjamin Franklin, To Colleagues at the Constitutional Convention
