Hello EXPO!
I work for a 5 star resort in Jackson Wyoming which I wont mention the name here but you guys can probably figure it out. I work there as the Resort Naturalist essentially taking our guests on 4-5 hour sunrise and sunset wildlife viewing tours throughout Grand Teton National Park. We currently use a Mercedes GL450. These are nice cars, quiet, luxurious, reliable. BUUUUT they are just not big enough nor do they have low range gearing. Not to mention people have been getting carsick in the third row and you have to be a contortionist just to get back there.
We need something different.
I have been given the task of finding/creating a vehicle that would satisfy our AND more importantly our guests needs. I have been given a budget of $100,000. First off I will explain what our requirements are.
1. MUST be luxurious, leather seats, quiet etc.
2. MUST seat 6 people without having to fold down seats. I.e. easy access.
3. MUST have low range
4. MUST be stone axe reliable
5. MUST have roof openings so as to view wildlife.
6. MUST be safe.
7. MUST have room for gear.
Here is what we CANNOT have.
1. NO vans
2. NO diesels (too loud)
The ideal seating configuration would be a bench in the third row position and two captains chairs in the second row to allow easy entry and exit. We have LOTS of gear with us all the time, spotting scopes, camera equip., food, coffee pots, specimen case, first aid,recovery gear, etc. In the new vehicle we would like to have a small fridge for drinks and built in drawers for all the gear. Storing some of the gear on the roof is an option though not ideal as we would like an unobstructed view.
The vehicle we need does not exist in stock form so let your imagination run wild, the only limit is the $100k.
I thank you in advance for your ideas....kind regards.
