Is it my imagination or does the outside spare sit up higher on the SUV versus the SUT?

I think you're comparing non-oem with oem tire carriers. On the lot, they seem to be the same.

That is probably it. I was just noticing it in one of the pics from this thread.

sut! is my vote

I'm glad the SUT is offered as an option for those interested. As for me, I have no interest in one, I prefer everything about the SUV, more storage, 3rd seat, but mostly the look. Don't get me wrong, the SUT looks good, the SUV simply looks better.

I think the SUT looks much better, but it is so impractical. What the heck are you going to haul in that trunk? An extra pair of shoes? Does one normally pick up a load of lumber in their SUT?

I like to bring my bikes everywhere I go and I can fork mount them inside a nice LOCKED SUV.

But man...those SUTs looks sweet.

Just to contribute, so far I have hauled:

4x8 sheets of sheetrock
4x8 sheets of plywood
4x8 sheets of concrete backerboard
10' 2x10's
8' 2x4's
8' dining room table AND all 6 chairs
PVC piping
8' couch
arm chair
bags of concrete
bags of fertilizer
bags of play sand
trees
shrubs
leaky yard equipment
camping gear
vacationing baggage
bikes
coolers full of beer
spare
and a ton more **** I can't remember

Most of which would have toasted the inside of an SUV. Damn thing is so impractical...

Hey Dan, how much time does it take to remove spare? Also, what do you do with the wire for the tag light? One last thing..Did you use the kit to re-attach the tag? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

It takes all of 20 minutes to do the swap. Tire carrier off, SUV tow loops on. I devised my own plate mount and have a lighted plate frame. I'll get a better pic later & post it for you. In the pic I posted above I have a cheapie light rigged up temporarily. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

The pic I promised of my mounting. The plate frame is lighted and is wired thru the back. You can see where my temp light setup hacked up the plastic a bit...

That's okay, I got the movie.

Hummer Guy - approx 100 - 150 SUV's & SUT's flying around Kuwait at the moment. It seems that not many white face guys have them, mainly ARAB's have them, so when pulling up to a restaurant, shopping mall, valet parking you get some funny looks - pretty good stuff though.

I am looking at Black SUT 0 Miles, but they want $62K for it, imported from US. I will get around $45K for mine from insurance if i am lucky.

Thanks for the comments and advise, it looks like a SUT it will be then.

Is that how you move house?? Can't believe H2CP let you load all that on her minivan!!!

Love my SUT. The back with the cover is great too. When we go camping or biking it works out well since it's just the two of us and the dogs.

the SUT with the bike rack looks sweet.

My son and I also have bikes and it is more practical than a SUV, 2 Mountain Bikes dont fit inside, and keeps all the crap on the outside.
Sweet SUT also. love the colour.

Hey Tim, Where did you get the bed rack from? Is it a custom fab? Also, does the tonneau cover open with rack on? Looks awesome!
