The only things even close besides the hellcat crowd (TRX included) are crazy loaded/optioned heavy duty diesel trucks. This exercise essentially proves out why an SUV (to me) as a DD is simply a compromise for someone who can’t justify/afford having a performance/sports type car & a truck. OR (very often the case- hand raised) you have kids. Even if it’s an absolute 2wd beater….the basic utility of a truck already makes it able to do some very important things other vehicles simply can’t do. And the interiors on full size trucks these days are as spacious as they come. Loaded up luxury sport SUVs are fun & cool & utilitarian, but not more fun/cool than a sports car/sedan & SUvs are very useful - but def not more so</blockquote>
