An SUV is just a truck without the convenience of a truck bed. Never understood why anyone would get an SUV over a truck unless they need seating for 6+ people.

Cargo space is covered and climate controlled.

It's good to keep your mulch and gravel comfy.

Some people carry other things.

Maybe, maybe not. SUVs are either trucks without a bed, and so what is the difference, or not really rated to tow anything.

It would work fine but be less convenient. And if you can afford the luxury than why not.

The environment cannot afford your luxury.

It probably depends on how much and what you need to tow.
