I had a 1988 SJ410 High Roof as a daily 20 years ago, took away the cage parts, and had a good time. No trouble with the load carry, I hardly think anyone reeeeallly need too much more than 150 kg. Roof was just as flimsy in 1988, but it made it easy to knock it back up after working standing on the roof. Only thing seen of that happening was the foot prints.
I believe their main use would be for those doing maintenance on train tracks, rural power lines, on bigger industrial plants, golf courses, and maybe a supplement to a lorry carrying materlials to a building site. to have 2 extra men and some extra tools.
Might be perfect for some companies?

Try out and review the Wrangler 4xe PHEV. I was looking for something to flat tow behind our motorhome (it can be a pain to deal with a 30' long trailer that we use to bring a smaller vehicle) and it is a short list of what can be flat towed. We had a Wrangler TJ before so tried the JL 3. 6L and it was fine, but uninspiring. Ended up test driving and then ordering a Rubicon 4xe this past weekend. It puts out 375 hp and 470 lb ft (0 to 60 in under 6 seconds, is relatively fun to drive and qualifies for a $7, 500 tax credit.

if you had a clue you would know the original was solid and was only failed on the moose test due to the bigger car companies at the time being fraudulent and going way over the speed for the moose test to actually role it little history facts they were insanely good 4 x 4 s and frankly if you don't even know this much or mention it then why would anyone listen to what you're saying because that is 101 information on them seriously

Can any motor vehicle engineers tell me why Suzuki have persevered with the 1. 5L high emissions engine and do this silly van conversion workaround- when it seems like they could have just changed the 2022 models to use a little 1. 0L turbo engine or a 1. 2 from a Suzuki swift or something to keep the emissions down. Modern 1. 0L-s can achieve the same power of that 1. 5 easily

The Jimny was never built for the posh upper-class. If you can afford it there are much better options. It is a budget off-road vehicle that can be customized as finances allow. The same thing happened with the Samurai where the wealthy turned it into a fashion statement and caused the price to skyrocket. I am sorry but when I see a rich person in a Jimny it just screams douche.

So essentially it-s a bit shite, and the emissions are horrible. It-s only available in Petrol and not Diesel.
Only positive looks as it-s one of the few 4x4-s that still has a proper 4x4 transmission, with low ratio.
It-s hardly the cheap Japanese copy of early Jeeps that they once were, yet are still very basic.

Wow a package vehicle that has a back window so thieves can go window shopping before they break into your car and steal everything.
Also a manual trany for something you are supposed to be using in town?
So a commercial vehicle for 3rd world countries postal service that have no roads?

I really like the Jimmy, but agree with others about the price. At 15-17k people would buy it as a cost effective option. At 20k plus I wouldn't buy it.
I prefer commercial versions for the boot space.
Apart from the duster or small can like a Berlingo I can't think of other options

I have both an SZ5 and a commercial. They are pretty much the same car to drive and I hardly notice that the commercial has less gadgets. I-ve upgraded my commercial with a few SZ5 accessories including the sat nav & wheels so to the average person you wouldn-t know the difference.

I'm hoping that the Jimny passenger car will make a comeback. Might have to be electric only to beat the emissions rules. In any event, I hope that Suzuki are working on it.
This commercial version probably might work best as a parcel delivery/collection vehocle.
