Four-wheel drive utes and chassis extensions: you put $6000-$10,000 on the table, they get the angle grinder and just cut-and-shut the chassis to stretch your ute.

Exactly why I do not recommend you buy an Isuzu D-Max or an MU-X. It's got very little to do with the vehicles themselves, and everything to do with the calibre of the parent organization which, in my estimation, is very likely to throw you under the bus if you present to them with a legitimate problem which they can weasel out of.

You get pure sine wave 240 volts AC, you get USB-A, high powered USB-C, 12 volts DC, and if that's not enough, there's even an integrated inductive charge pad on top for your phone.
