I own and drive a '92 Chev Suburban for the following reasons:
1. Low cost. It's actually cheaper to fill this gas guzzler than to buy a new/fuel efficient/fast car and pay large insurance on it due to my high risk age group.
2. Cargo Capacity. I do a lot of errands around the farm and i find that very often the truck will be completely full whether i'm carrying garbage, feed, Tack boxes, etc.
3. Towing capability. My dad and I love to go fishing, we often use the truck to tow the boat/trailer. Also it's used to tow horse trailers, and a flatbed trailer as well.
4. Room for the dog. Great danes take up a lot of space.
5. Safety. Max speed: 140 km/h acceleration: 0-100 in 17.5 seconds. long wheelbase. It's easy to be a defensive driver when it takes a full kilometer of road to pass someone on the highway.
6. Reliability. My truck is nearing 400 000 kilometers, and still starts up right away, and I can count on it to take me where I need to go, even in the depths of winter.
Some people get a lot of use out of their SUV's. Don't throw all SUV drivers into the same mold.
