For all the hype about them being "sports utility", most SUVs have poor off-road perfromance, and restricting your patrols to roads would leave a lot of ground uncovered. A battered pickup, complete with rust stains, bondo, mud and maybe carrying a collection of battered tools and a ladder, would tend to be more "back ground noise", especially if the crew matched the appearance. Most people tend to look for obvious security, a grounds keeper, running a mower would almost pass unnoticed.

Having grounds keepers as security works perfectly during pre-TEOTWAWKI for the project. and would be something they'd definately be doing. I was talking about post-TEOTWAWKI Event. Having equipment used by the Council of/for Tomorrow and their PMC security available for the Project's specialty teams to present as much of a non-threatening appearance as possible, but also having some kind of authority by their appearance.
Dodge Durangos and other Dodge trucks have been used by most of the military & law enforcement when it comes to auxiliary support vehicles for decades... so they might be a good model to use for that.

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
