Need advice, trying to understand if this is even possible.
I need offroad capable true 4x4 vehicle of SUV of similar type (nor sxs) that has low horse power, below 200hp preferrable. Japanese hopefully.
It must be 2013 or newer
There is Suzuki Jimny that fits the bill but they are not in American market.
The reason I need low horse power vehicle is because after use in the US I need to import it into another country which has very steep registration fees for anything above 200hp.
I am considering de-tuning the engine to lower taxes but would rather not.
Also import and emissions regulations would prevent importing old stuff which likely has low horsepower

Is this even possible?
 
Yes, 4x4 and low range. 4runners could be had in 4cyl up to 2011. There may have been a similar Nissan variant as well.
I see, thank you. I have to look up import regulations on pickups. Last time Iooked at truck prices a couple of years they had huge price premium and were hard to find, but back then was a tail end of early 2020s truck rush, then I think market slwed down. 4 cyl 4runner woud be ideal, but 2011 is below cutoff year for import emissions standards, unfortunately.
