Here in our not-crowded-at-all part of this great country, trucks and SUV's are very common, and for good reasons. Room for cargo and people, towing capacity, four wheel drive with good ground clearance and the ability to negotiate rural/unimproved roads in all weather conditions.
As I see it, SUV's became popular at about the same time that the major manufacturers all discontinued their large rear wheel drive station wagons. Today's Expedition is yesterday's Country Squire, only with more capabilities (and better fuel mileage!).
I've owned and enjoyed many different SUV's and pickups over the years (beginning with a 1974 Jeep Cherokee and a 1979 Dodge W150) and I have no intention of ever being without one, regardless of what some folks in big cities think I should do.
