The great aspect about SUVs, more than the elevated driving position and sense of safety, is the peace of mind during uncertainties. Let’s say you’re heading out of town on a short getaway via unfamiliar roads. The roads may have been badly deteriorated or perhaps the place of interest is only accessible by going off trail.
