Speak for your self. We DIY our house a lot and we need an SUV for tools and supplies. If you aren't ever DIYing, going camping, or much else but driving to your luxury hotel or airplane it makes sense but some of us actually use ours.

They're all absurdly huge. You should have to have a CDL to be allowed to drive one.

They're so "absurdly huge" they fit in the same parking spaces as other cars.

No they really don't.

A Honda Odyssey minivan is 78.9 inches wide.

A Chevy Tahoe/Suburban is 80.5 inches [youtube]wide.
[/youtube]
A Tesla model S is 77.3 inches wide.


There is only 2.5 inches in difference between the sedan that all the hip lefties drive, that literally no one has EVER called "too big", and a Tahoe/Suburban, which are described as "gigantic" and "so big it should require a commercial driver's license".

There's less than two inches difference between a Tahoe/Suburban and the most common minvanon the road today. In other words, less than 3/4" on either side. Smaller than your thumbnail.



Stop it with this ridiculous nonsense about how huge Tahoes/Suburbans are. The reality is the difference between them and other popular vehicles is smaller than your finger.

Model S Length: 196"
Honda Odyssey minivan length 203"
Suburban length 225"

Length of Chevy Tahoe 204"

Again, the difference is smaller than your fingernail.

Or put in terms that seem to dominate this board, that's like the difference between a 6" penis and a 6.65" penis. Absurdly huge? Enormous? Gigantic? Too big to fit? You tell me.

I am not getting one of these cars because of the cost but I will be very frank that my 3 kids are absolutely outgrowing our Pilot. Im gonna stick with it and make it work but if I had an extra 70k I would be thinking about it hard.

It's true that when you put a Suburban next to a Tahoe, the Tahoe doesn't look big.

ALL vehicles are bigger than they used to be, just like people are bigger than they used to be.

My current car, which is the smallest model the company makes, is as long as my former car, which was the second-smallest model the company makes. If I'd bought the same model again, I would have a much bigger car. I haven't gotten any bigger; the stuff I use the car for hasn't gotten any bigger; why would I need a bigger car?

A Suburban is just a Tahoe that's stretched 20.5" longer.

It's not wider at all. None. Zero. Same vehicle, same width. Just longer. It can be anywhere from the same weight as the Tahoe, to about 300 lbs more, depending on options.



To put this in another perspective.... the 1972 Chevy Impala Sedan, a very, very popular car in it's time, and typical of the size of most sedans of the 60's and 70's, was 217.5" long.

A 2020 Tahoe is more than a FOOT shorter than a typical sedan of the 1970's.

And people managed to drive and park those cars without any trouble at all. My mother was one of them. One of many, many millions.


Perspective. Y'all need it.

Speak for your self. We DIY our house a lot and we need an SUV for tools and supplies. If you aren't ever DIYing, going camping, or much else but driving to your luxury hotel or airplane it makes sense but some of us actually use ours.

Oh god we do all of that stuff too, comfortably, with a station wagon.

Home Depot delivers in case you weren't aware though we've used it once in the last 5 years.

Also we actually go backpacking as opposed to being lazy and going car camping (or in your case tank camping) so since everyone has to carry their own gear they only bring what they need which comfortably fits in our car.

You think you are macho & superior because you drive a gas guzzling SUV and of course that's what the car commercials tell you you are but in reality you are just insecure and too lazy to carry your own $hit.

But hey freedom and burning continents and all that justify it no doubt.

Please. The only thing in men's pants that's ~6" long that the women of DCUM care about, is his checkbook.

Their Tahoe likely gets the exact same mileage on the highway as your Outback. I've owned both.

And when you consider that the Tahoe has a larger 5.3L V8 compared to the Outback's smaller 2.5L-3.6L H4 or H6, and weighs about 1,500lbs more, the Tahoe is actually a MUCH more efficient vehicle for its size.

If the Subaru were as efficient as the Tahoe is, it would get 45+ mpg, instead of the 20-22 it gets.

Not to mention that I’d need to put TWO Subaru’s on the road to get my wife and five kids to our destination.

Then in that particular scenario, the Outback is literally less than HALF as efficient as the Tahoe, if it would require two of them to do the same about of work. That's pretty astonishing. But data doesn't lie. Although clearly it pisses some people off.

Home Depot charges $75 per delivery. It adds up if you do as much as we do.

You can think about baby koalas burning to death every time you get in it.

What are you buying during all of these trips to home depot that I can't get into my station wagon? They don't have lumber or drywall at Home Depot (and you could get both on the roof anyhow) - are you buying new doors and appliances every single week? I guarantee even if you need to get a delivery every single week the extra cost of your SUV still far exceeds a weekly $75 delivery fee.

Somehow I doubt you are doing as much as you say you are doing but I'm sure you feel cool living in a car commercial.
