Wonderful idea!!!......if you are considering an SUV (or a sport utility truck as one ad may claim) in its true sense of the word...not those car-based road queen crossovers.

1. you still get a 5-seater utility vehicle
2. larger cargo hold at the back
3. 4x4 capability which you cannot get at this price range for SUV (except the Jimny)
4. spacious than the all the CUVs in the market

Perhaps the other option to achieve these features is to own the first-gen Montero Sport (5-seater, 4x4, diesel SUV)...which you can get pre-owned.
