Name My Pajero!

I can't figure out what to call my truck. Some might think it's stupid to name a truck, but when I get behind the wheel, I'm reminded of the wild west, when our primary mode of transportation had four legs and a name. I feel like my truck and I can go anywhere. It is my expedition partner. Lewis to my Clark (or something like that).
I would like to get YOUR help naming this thing. I'm not posing this question anywhere else (and believe me, I'm on a LOT of different boards these days.) I am trusting in the good taste of my predominately Canadian Mitsubishi 4WD brothers and sisters to pick a name for my truck.
About the truck:
+ 1989 Dodge Raider (which we all know is really a Pajero) 2.6/5-speed
+ it's slow, it's rough, it creaks and rattles and roars (mostly from mud tires on pavement)
+ it's very hot - black, no AC, I live in Phoenix where it's pretty much 38*C or more every day for six months out of the year
Here's a couple pictures:
Please help me pick a name for my truck!

Ummm... You could call her "Oakland"....
Lost Ark is pretty cool name, actually I really like it, a lot.
Monty is the name of Mararmeisto's wagon, it's a big world out there and I'm sure there's room for two Montys ~ I just relate it to Mararmeisto, I guess....
What does your wagon think?

Why "Oakley?"
I'm really liking "Dusty," and Lost Ark rings particularly true...

Not "Oakley" but "Oakland", as in "Oakland Raider". It was a fleeting thought. It's gone now.

The Crock-Pot? (After all, you said it was a slow cooker...)

@Falco - Ah, Oakland. Don't know how I missed that. I reed gud. I don't know how common Raider fans are up in your neck of the woods, but as close as I am to SoCal, I see them all the time. Not the sort with which I would like to - in any way whatsoever - associate.
Trigger and Crock Pot are both great ideas, too!

Not what I originally voted for but I think it's a cool name... "Short Round"... I think it's a good name, unique and catchy. Now all you have to do is break out the champagne. Congratulations!
