When you’re hauling around all of that unnecessary steel, then you are going to require power. In most cases, you will require a V8 engine. Don’t get me wrong, I love the V8 engine, but not when it’s in an SUV just so it can haul its own self around.

Oh yeah, I can’t forget to include the fact that they flip easier than the normal cars. This is the number one reason why I do not want an SUV. I mean, if you get one, it’s your choice, but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you flip over.
