Although it's a bit off topic, my favourite SUV drive at the moment is the Ford Territory. It's rare in Thailand, made in Oz. It compares favourably or better with SUVs from Merc, Range Rover, BMW, and even my fave brand Volvo.
It's a bit lower, giving greater stability, but high enough for greater visibility. Apart from the ceiling TV/video player for the kids in the 2nd & 3rd rows, it has comparatively rudimentary bells and whistles, which I actually prefer: manual windscreen wipers lol!, but great ac and heater of course, rear cam monitor for reversing, which frankly I could do without.
But the drive, braking, suspension - absolutely fantastic. No pickup will ever come close.
But for farmwork, building work etc any pickup will be better.
