1. The throttle problem is beyond floor mats.
The sUV in my own location will stay popular, not for high speed. although the longer it is the better, like an extended suburban. A relative has been trading those in for years on simply a newer one.
I see them flop over all the time, they are like toys. A "n00b" who defends them as performers may meet the truth involuntarily. Education for thier purpose, get rid of myths, and the suv is a worker. My own opinion of dislike is the chevy blazer sized suv...ridiculous. Too big for a four cylinder, and too stupid to be big. I took a photo comparing to a subaru wagon. The wagon not only had the same length, it has more room interior due to smaller dash and skinnier doors, low CG, and I bet 10to 1 the 4.3 liter would break a crank trying to do as much work as the 1781cc subaru. I would wager it for real.
I could play the chevy hillbilly games, after telling you how much I built and lost, you may want to sit back down tough guys.
There are real places really difficult that need real machines. You like suv? go get the biggest ever in four doors and full size.
