There is suprisingly little space in a patrol (sort of a Tardis in reverse).
Would consider a 3lt diesel surf, or the old shape kia sportage, they were always better than the vitaras etc.

I thought my mates old SWB Safari had pretty good space for a SWB truck actually, would be big enough for my use. Not a heap of back seat legroom, but not really any worse than a doublecab Hilux.

Will keep an eye out for decent 3.0 surfs too, heard about head/overheating issues but most are probably from lack of maintenance, doesn't seem a standard design fault like the 2.4. Think thats the first positive thing I've ever heard about a Kia Sportage, don't think I could bring myself to consider one of those.
