Smile Help with Scoob 4x4 replacement

Had the scoob for 3.5yrs - time to go as I never drive it (only 9k miles from new!)

I have 5 dogs so the mrs and I have come to the conclusion that we should swap her runaround and the scoob for a large 4x4.

Problem is which one?? Shortlisted the Nissan Pathfinder - not enough nearly news so may have to stretch to a new un. The Mitsubishi Shogun LWB DI-D. I prefer the interior of the Shogun (in Elegance trim) to the Pathfinder, although the PF has an awesome loadbay with the rear seats folding into the floor making it perfectly flat. The PF has a smaller diesel engine yet produces more power than the Shogun. My perception from what I've seen is that the Mitsi somehow looks/feels a bit more rugged/well finished on the exterior but I may be getting that idea because the PF has very flat sides with no door/arch protection skins/bulges etc.

Anyone advise on these or suggest something I've missed? Jeeps seem ok but the boots aren't as good and I suspect may not be as well made as the Japs?

Thanks

I looked at some in Motorpoint - very tempting but I think the boot is just a little bit too small for the dogs. Would have been good to stick with the brand and have decent performance also!
