Nearly all of our mail carriers are contractors, and
they drive a wide range of vehicles. For example:

Jeep (regular)

USPS auction mail carrier Jeep (the little white
square things)

RHD Subaru wagon (yes, you can buy them here)

F150 Ford pickup

I have to elaborate on the old Ford pickup - it's an
aging F150 that's a real rustbucket, driven by a
Hispanic woman who is very nice.  It has an ingenious
dual steering wheel setup with a "dummy" steering
wheel on the right side that is coupled to the "real"
steering wheel by a series of sprockets and chains,
like a bicycle would use.  A real marvel of backyard
engineering, IMHO.  I haven't seen what sort of pedal
arrangement it has, mainly because the last time I saw
her I was so amazed by the steering wheel setup I was
engrossed with it and didn't bother looking at
anything else.
