Might not be in your thoughts but a Ford Territory Diesel is quite a good vehicle. My boss has the latest model which may be the last model made which he bought as a demo for a steal and we haul the full tow rating with it regularly (tri-axle trailer full of building supplies like plaster, bricks, timber and steel). Drives great, not bad on fuel and has plenty of bells and whistles. It drives more like a car than a SUV.
I personally have a Toyota Landcruiser 4wd and wouldn't swap it for anything but it wont suit everyone, drives more like a car than a 4wd and I have driven a lot of different utes and 4wd vehicles.

Thanks. TBH Im pretty happy staying with the Pajero. It pulls like a train, feels like a car to drive and is reasonably economical. With the kids gone though Im just considering something smaller thats easier to get around town. Also agree about Euro costs although I think this can be set off quite a bit by chasing up non-genuine parts that probably came from the same factory.
