Ridiculous "ad." Hauling two dogs and gear to the children's homes in cities up to three hours away, there is nothing else that will do it in comfort. Four-wheel drive is also a big help here in winter. Nothing better for hauling kids and all their gear to an out-of-town hockey match.
One son likes to bike in Utah-Arizona; his SUV provides sleeping accomodations for two, and is ideal for the long trip from Canada.
Gasoline is cheap, even with recent increases. There is nothing to replace the SUV. Compare gas mileage with a large comfortable car and there is little difference.
