Also, the majority of the drive are backroads that get plowed last, so the traction and security of having the SUV is also a blessing.

I recently traded the Blazer in for an Expedition. I personally didn't want to get the bigger vehicle, but seeing as how my new wife is pregnant, I just ran out of room in the Blazer, unless I wanted to strap someone to the roof.

Also, don't even go down the path of minivan, nope, no way, no how.

Also, try having 5 people in a vehicle and make the rounds at Christmas when you are making a 3 state trek.

SUV owner and proud of it
