I rented a car for my stay on Bonaire. Would I be better of getting a truck or some type of SUV?

If you are diving shore sites the truck is far better.

Eric..we really need more info. How many people are with you? Are you shore diving? My preferred vehicle is you are only 2 & doing shore diving is a Suzuki Jimny. It's got enough room in the back for 2 tanks & some equipment & is 4 WD.

I would go for a truck if diving.

Most trucks are "crew cab" that have seating for four, with the truck bed used for tanks and gear. I have not found a need for four wheel drive. I have found that a truck is the way to go. Be aware that most, if not all, trucks are standard shift.

Thanks for the feed-back. It's just going to be me, my dive equipment and a couple of tanks. I would like to dive at a couple of shore sites. I'm trying to change my rental from a car to a Rav4 or similar vehicle.
