Senior Moment
Been having one for a few days now.
There was a Japanese SUV, came decked out from the factory lifted with a hood snorkel, rack, roof ladder, and always seemed to see them in Yellow. I want to say early 2000? I remembered it being a Nissan, either Pathfinder or Xterra and for the life of me can't find it now. Anyone remember what it was?

Possibly a Isuzu Trooper?

Wasn't a Trooper or FJ
I recall it being tall, thin, boxy / harder edges. Driving me nuts because I saw one for sale a couple of months ago so I know the damn thing is not a figment of my imagination. The distinct features were the snorkel and roof ladder as factory options.

I know this isn’t a thread about high school girlfriends but that is what came to mind. I have no idea what car you are talking about, but you gave a great description of Sarah.

Can't think of anything that came standard with a snorkel, but sounds like it's either a Nissan Xterra or perhaps, if not for the 'Japanese' requirement, an early Land Rover Discovery.

Xterra- I remember the tailgate as being asymmetrical where one side had a bulge to accommodate the large first-aid kit.

Pretty much it though I remember the the front being a bit flatter but ok. And I recall they also had a ladder. I know some came stock like that. WTF was the specific trim model?

Isuzu Vehicross comes pretty close, but not boxy.

Kinda embarrassing.
I started googling Vehicrosses for sale. I think it would be a cool first car for my 17 yr old. It's quirky like him. Found a nice clean black one so call him into my office to show him. He looks and instantly says "ohh, a Vehicross" ??? uhm, you knew about these? "Yeah, didn't you?"

So... um... not the fire truck then?
It would be a pretty safe ride for a 17 year old...
