Overall Rating (averaged) 8.00

Large loading bay can swallow almost everything.  Pick-up based chassis means the Alterra can take on any kind of challenge.  This is certainly one advantage it has over the Toyota Fortuner (smaller luggage capacity).

Kick-ass stereo system is capped off with a DVD-entertainment system with an 11-speaker system.  The Alterra probably has a better sound system than your TV.
