The word of the day is jípeta:
A "jipeta" is the equivalent to an SUV (Ford Explorer, Lincoln Navigator, Toyota Landcruiser) in the Dominican Republic. (wordreference.com)
"You have to leave the rental jípeta on the last bit of paved road and jump on the back of two motoconchos with all the luggage balanced on your backs."
- Junot Díaz, "The Cheater's Guide to Love", New Yorker 23 July 2012
