For real. I drive a 911 daily to work and race my other 911 on weekends. I have an F250 I tow with and drive on rainy days. Driving the F250 daily would do nothing to improve me as a driver. Everything on these trucks is designed to insulate the driver from the fact you are controlling a big, tall and heavy crappy handling truck. Take a freeway sweeper at normal speeds and try to keep the suspension set and loaded for the length of the corner. The steering is too light the high CG allows the suspension to take a set then when it hits a bump the suspension quickly unloads and then the entire truck rocks right to left. All the while you are rocking and bouncing in the seat trying to get the suspension to take a set again. This can happen numerous times in one long turn, why even try. Fact is most people that drive lack the drivers training to even know what weight transfer means, and in an SUV there is a relentless amount of uncontrollable weight transfer.
