Axe the rear seats and this is something my wife and I would likely love when the dogs have died.
We take our kona electric in some pretty silly places but I've nearly gotten stuck a couple of times in muddy gravel having only 2WD and lowish clearance restricting some of the paths we can take.
Hoping to do some long arse road trips across the desert in the next couple of decades.
The back seats serve a purpose: You can buy a ute through your business as it is clearly a work vehicle. If you want your business to effectively pay for your family car, you make a ute that can drive your family around.
That's why tradies buy these. They don't need the dual cab for work, they need the tray to justify buying the family vehicle through their business and expensing/depreciating it.
what does this have to do with what my wife and I would want?
I was saying they're not likely to axe those seats. Sorry. 😀
I dunno, byd has some pretty 'budget' entries for sale elsewhere.
