They do have their places, like my mom, she uses it to haul bags of milk replacer (has to be transported in a dry dry enviroment from one customers house to another) plus we use it to two the boat and for going into the words for hunting. If she didn't have a need for one she would be driving a car. The thing that pisses me off about them is everyone driving them cause they feel they are safer or better in the winter, hell 80% of the vehicles I see in the ditch during winter in Wisconsin are SUV's, guess what 4wd doesn't make you stop any better. Also it pisses me off at the i'm bigger and tougher than you idea (alot of people drive crazy cause they think the are king of the road). And for and example accident wise a lady in a Tahoe hit my roomate with his Mazda 626. The Mazda absorbed alot of the impact which totalled it. But the Tahoe shot across 3 lanes of traffic, proof it's better to absorb energy than deflect it like a raquet ball.
