I would like the option of a vehicle I could get back in the Colorado
hills a little more.  So ride heighth as well as a more agressive
suspension would be an attractive alternative.  It would probably need a
little different gearing as well.

Now, IF this were to come to pass, I would then have to take a serious
evaluation of my needs and decide if a more "purpose-built" vehicle what
I really wanted AND needed.  IMO, too many "off-road" vehicles in
Colorado never touch so much as a dirt road, let alone do some
semi-serious off-roading.  Of course, this is a double-edged sword, as I
would prefer that fewer rather than greater numbers of people see the
tops of our peaks from the cab of a SUV.
