@grue yeah, so the commercials say. The ones I've driven haven't been particularly better than sedans except higher clearance.. making them more likely to rollover or break axles instead of scrape oil pans.

@groet and American SUVs would break an axle or drive shaft or get stuck in the mud puddles on the rural roads. SUVs are really impractical unless you build your whole infrastructure around them. @Davriellelouna
