John,
You will NEVER see those SUVs on Moab trails.
All this great engineering and offroad capability just to carry soccer mom to local mall.
Like using supercomputer for e-mail only.
Are you sure you want to drive one in Moab? One drive may result in very expensive
repairs...Vanagons can sustain some body damages without loosing much value...
