I just borrowed my father in law Yukon today in the snowstorm. I have to admit it was the first time I was driving a big SUV and I was feeling quite insecure because I dont like to sit so high. What bothered me the most is that you feel so disconnected from the outside world; you can barely hear the engine and dont feel it at all when the rear wheels are spinning. I almost made a spin because of that.
I switched to my FWD Volvo and it was a lot safer at the same speed. Or maybe I was just going slower
