Unfortunately, SUV has encompassed a variety of vehicles. Like some of you, I would not own a truck based suv without needing it for towing and off road. Now our RAV is a different story…to me, it’s a raised wagon with awd, room and ground clearance. Many people can use these cars types nearly anywhere. And they’re easy to to drive.  
Mike, I let my kids drive any car I had, including my SUVs and trucks…I wouldn’t let them sail my favorite catamaran. Priorities !
