In my mind, cars have certain advantages and disadvantages over pickups.....Pickups have advantages and disadvantages over a car.......Add up all the disadvantages and you have an SUV. Like:
Heavy, slow, high center of mass, poor fuel mileage, can't carry what a pickup can, etc....
Sorry, but never been a SUV fan. Seen plenty upside in the median in the winter when they try to drive 75-80 in the snow and ice.........

She likes being slightly elevated in traffic so she can see a little farther down the road. She has driven my E550 quite a lot (she learned to drive in it) and finds it too low to the ground. She also likes the fact that she knows where the corners are when she is parallel parking. The disadvantage of a pickup
to her is that she can only carry one other passenger. The back seat folds down so quite a bit can be carried in the back securely (not practical in a pickup without a cab or cover) and the suspension on a pickup is tuned for carrying quite heavy weights so the ride is choppy on the freeway when empty. Not much snow and ice in Long Beach California.
