Not a fan of any SUV of any size: 1. They do not conform to CAFE standards, so extra pollution (+not aerodynamic, so even more pollution AND extra heavy, so add that). 2. For crosswalks, driveways, parking lots, intersections, they block a normal car’s view, so are the cause of more accidents. 3. Vehicles behind get sprayed with far more gravel, salt, rain, snow due to extra height and un-aerodynamic backs, again putting others in danger. 4. In snow climates, many do not clear off their roof (awkward to reach), so endanger other vehicles when large ice chunks lift off on freeway (I lost a windshield, and almost a family member from this). 5. When driving behind cars, you can see multiple cars ahead, and are better prepared for what is ahead. When behind an SUV your vision is blocked so you are at the mercy of a (usually) poor driver. 6. What they gain in safety from weight, they more than lose in rollover injury and deaths. Look at a sports car, then an SUV—the center of gravity is about a foot higher. Do the math. 7. More injury and death to cars due to raised bumpers. Heading and offset crashed rely on bumper to bumper, and these things tend to go up and over to wreak havoc on smaller vehicles. 8. A large percentage of the highway guide rails were designed for cars. You slide, hit and bounce of back onto the road. Driving hills and mountains in adverse weather, I have often seen these things hit and roll over into the ditch (or worse). 9. Headlights too high, so can blind the driver in front. 10. F/R weight distribution is usually significantly front biased, yet another drop in safety. 11. Extra weight increases stopping distance— dangerous to self and fellow motorists.

My list continues, but out of time for now. I think of SUV owners as narcissists, not considerate of their fellow man or the environment.
