I am looking for vehicle to send 3 kids to school and around kampong roads with potholes and uneven road surfaces.

For the money I can get a brand new 2016 model 4 door Hilux 2.8.
I tested the latest Hilux and found it to be more bumpy and have worse cornering than the latest Triton and Ford Ranger.
The only drawback to me is the back part which is a tray.

For the same amount of money (about +rm20 k more) I can also get 2nd hand 2009-10 Alphard/Vellfire or 2008 Bmw X5.
The Alphard/Vellfire is 2.4 engine. The Bmw X5 is 3.0 engine.

Which is the most reliable and which one would you choose and why please?

I heard many bad things about this school recently. Things like shoddy renovations , l-chepo equipment and chasing after profits are their main concern. Has anyone got good things to say about this place? My cousins are living within minutes from this dirty place so walking over is easy. If no, which other school can recommend in klang?
