    … but that’s exactly what I want. A big boxy suv. Not a low, rinky dink jellybean suv / cuv.

    I live in the sticks, dirt roads, snow, skiis, snowboards, camping - big boxy SUV. Ladder frame, real 4WD, low range.

    I have never got a ticket, nor killed someone. Go after the assholes, don’t legislate things away.

      Lol you can do all of that stuff with a vehicle with a smaller grill and hood slope. The boxy grill is not a prerequisite for any of those things
