What would you call the AK-47 of cars? Rugged and reliable, but nothing too flashy or amazing.

Top kek, your AMC shit is not all too reliable. Theirs a reason why all these Toyota trucks are still around.
There are no cars that meet that description.

the nissan Z engines of the same era in the nissan hardbodys were much better.

There are still fuck tons driving. The 4.0 is bulletproof, and the AX-15 and AW4 are both dead reliable and cheap as shit to rebuild. Literally the only thing that takes them to the side of the road occasionally is the crankshaft position sensor. Everything else will run indefinitely when maintained. The ones you see in the JY are generally rustfucked, not broke down, and the ones that are only are because somebody ran it dry for a week and didn't bother getting another engine. Which are cheap.
That, and the JY stocks are finally starting to shrink after all this time. There probably are in fact more running than there are in yards at this point. Which kinda sucks, because half the draw of the thing is that parts grow on goddamn trees.

Lada Niva.

Mabey your right mate, sorry to riel you up like I did. It may be a bullet proof and stout motor but not as reliable as Toyota.
90-99 GMC (Yukon, Sierra, or their chevy counterparts)
Vortec 350 was the most reliable engine ever made
Only common issues with them was the windshield wiper motor and rust
Series Landrover

How much less is the tax on green plated compared to regular plates?

Hilux can seat 12+2 standing
>>16395535
Well, just look at what people who use AK-47s mostly drive: the Hilux and corolla.
Any other answer is wrong.
>>16396431
The people that use AK use Ladas.

I struggle to think about a more globally pervasive, generally poorly maintained and abused shitboxes that still just keep on puttering along
