Forget the car carrying capability....

That probably does have greater off road capability but the problem is that because the cab is totally separate from the body it makes them really pokey inside and limits the view out.

If I was going to go this route I would probably still prefer to do the serious(ish) off roading in something smaller and more disposable.
