The SUT is one more step up the ladder in bad-a##. It's by no means a practical vehicle. I mean, it's basically a really high, stubby pickup truck with no room to carry the things you'd normally carry in a pickup truck. In reality there is very little difference between the SUV and SUT. The SUV has so little space in the back in the first place since the wheel wells (and the tire) take up room. Who really needs the 3rd row seat? There are two slight benefits to the SUT. It should be lighter which should translate into better MPG and possibly better handling at higher speeds if they distribute the weight properly. It is also easier to carry bicycles... whoopie.
The real and ONLY reason to get the SUT over the SUV is because it just looks so cool. Had the SUT been out at the same time as the SUV (it was supposed to be!) I would have gotten the SUT without hesitation. I hate pickup trucks but this ain't no pickup truck.
