Why an SUV? Well, just two reasons. Off roading and hauling shit. I've lived in Colorado for 18 years and I've been stuck in the snow a grand total of one time in my 4kcsq. Oh yeah, when I finally decided to give up trying to go further up the hill in the snow, I backed down the mtn. and parked next to the jeep and the rodeo which couldn't make it either. -Damien Z
