2021年6月9日 · This is the most important step, and the step where the most money is at stake. 90% of the 4WD SUVs you see driving around never go off-road. 90% of the trucks never haul anything. 90% of Jeeps are used to commute between a suburban house and an office building, or idle in the Chick-fil-A drive-thru.

2018年3月12日 · Trucks and SUVs have their place--towing, hauling big stuff, driving on bad roads or no road, accommodating long-legged or large-sized people, stuff like that. The stupidity is----the Landcruiser that is only driven to the mall, where it takes up 2 spaces because Mom or Dad can't park it right

2015年6月9日 · A good reason to avoid SUVs is that they almost always include 4wd, which for 99% of the world means more weight, cost and complexity coupled with lower mileage. Definitely one of the biggest scams by car manufacturers. There should be a lot of used minivan/people carriers available out there. Good luck!

2024年4月1日 · Of those, Outback or minivans seem the way to go, three row mid-size SUVs always rubbed me the wrong way.

2015年1月19日 · The 2004 was about the last year for this wagon. If you can get one with low mileage, the mpg will still be good. We get about 27-29 hwy and 23-24 city. At the time, the best SUVs and vans were only getting 18. Another upside, these are priced great!

2012年11月28日 · My last two trucks have been 4.8l v8s with 3.42 highway gears and have given me mid 20s driving highway and mid teens in town, sadly better then a lot of smaller lighter SUVs and cars.
