I would only want one if they made a two seater.
Waste of space otherwise.
Good brand though.

From what I understand it has a very poor towing capacity, so will lose sales to those who wish to to a caravan.

Now, I know nothing about vehicles (& don't have a technical bone in my body) but I don't like the idea of the spare being under the vehicle re: ease of getting to the tyre and ease of it being damaged. But what do I know?

I think it's a good position for the spare, my old Territory had a similar set up. The spare is mounted on a cradle and winds down easily for access AND no need to empty out all your cargo to get at it!

Gday...
Yes, there are many vehicles with spare stored under the rear floor, accessed by a wind-down mechanism.
Particularly, off-road 4x4s ... who ultimately remove the spare and mount it on a carrier on the rear so they can install a long range fuel tank in the space.

We were at Mildura a few months ago and the most common ute was a Ranger and the most common wagon was a Cherokee. And nearly all white. Wife and I were both surprised, particularly the number of Cherokees. Wonder what vehicle(s) they are stealing sales from.

I've always lusted after a Land Rover. When I worked at Ford, Ford owned Land Rover, Mazda, Volvo & Jaguar and I was allowed to have one as a company car. However the conditions that they came with were horrendous so I stuck with a Ford.

I've just bought a Grand Cherokee, it's a beautiful thing. Not white though, and not new, but close to it. They are everywhere, and probably pinching sales from a couple of Japanese brands asking twice the price. My other pick would have been Discovery based on past experience with them. I was looking at both but Jeep are just tremendous value at the moment.
Gday...
Sorry ... but I just had to have one last indulgence for 2017.
I'm sure you all really want one of these
