Depends on your budget and goals. Many people bring a vehicle they are familiar with, but import duty can get expensive. You see a large number of 4 cylinder vehicles for this reason. You can review Belize import duty on vehicles here:

Finding a good used vehicle in Belize can be tough. We've found that purchasing new can be just as economical as importing a newer vehicle. There are dealerships if you're willing to order a vehicle and wait. As a bonus, in Belize you can get light duty work trucks, like Toyota Hilux and new diesel Ford Rangers, that can't be sold in the US due to emissions regulations.
