Or if you enjoy punching the underside of the dash with your knuckles ever time you put the handbrake down.

That's quite a specific requirement but you gotta go with what works.

I have not looked back since getting a Audi Q7. Can tow car, trailer and several hundred kilos of tools, fuel and 3 mates like most cars going to shopping centre.

A good 10yo one is now probably under $35k.

200 if you want to go off-road 

q7 tows as well but much nicer when not towing

which is 90% of lyf

landcrusher always wins on resale cause Toyota fan boys but all the 50k landcrushers r 250k on the clock so just buy new as money wise it’s a similar depreciation
