5 door Suzuki

Im selling my surf and hoping to get a 5 door suzuki vitara etc so I can tow it behind my motorhome. I need 5 seats hence the 5 door. I want to be able to take it on shiney trips only, hopefully I will also get a bush truck as well in the long term.

My question is what should I look for when chosing a zuk. I'm looking around the 3-5k.

Also what modifications (minor) are available for these.

Any help is welcome.

There's the usual sus lifts, body lifts, bull bars, ECUs, diff locks etc etc available for them off the shelf.

Look for rust round the windows, excessive lash in the transmisssion, oil consumption, just the usual. I have heard of issues with the door pillars breaking/fractureing from extensive use on rough roads.
