Para po sa kanya, talagang payat daw po. Pero sa akin po, di naman po. That's how he sees it. We talked about the Pajero Field Master and he didn't like it. Which Santa Fe po? The new and current gen or the previous gen? He has considered getting the previous gen Santa Fe of our neighbor. Depende po kasi yung dinadala niyang kahon, I can't tell how much he carries during deliveries. All I can say is less than 10 boxes per delivery.


We saw the Everest awhile back when we went to visit the dealership. Talagang ayaw po niya sa mga mahahaba at maninipis, at least that's how he describes the Everest and the Alterra.
Grabe naman... Considering your budget, you can only get the previous gen. Since your budget exceeds 1M, you can get Gen 2.5 with the same engine and tranny as the current gen. I honestly don't find the current gen Santa Fe worth that much money, with the 4x2 variant selling for pretty much the same as the previous gen 4x4 variant, and with the same engine too.

I don't know how tall your boxes are, but I believe you should be able to load at least 6 big boxes without stacking with all the seats up.

But seriously... I find the Everest more masculine than the Santa Fe. However, the Santa Fe is a good choice. You get midsize sedan ride quality and handling, refined, powerful and fuel efficient engine, 5 star crash rating from the US NHTSA... Pretty much everything is in the house! I've only driven Gen 2.0 and its already good enough for me.
