Having scraped a couple of Hundais off of the back of my SUVs, I would beg to differ.

What's not safe about this heavy truck?

"What's not safe about this heavy truck?"

If you forget to set the parking brake it might roll down your driveway and crush your house ...

Excellent point. That reminds me of an accident I was involved in. I was sitting stopped at a light in the rain in my '77 Plymouth, and was rear-ended by a Honda Civic, who was then rear-ended by a Toyota Genericus. The Toyota had major damage, the Honda was probably totalled, while I had a small scratch on my license plate. ;-)

Two years ago a young stud decided to try to park his Mitsubishi 3000 under the rear of my 1987 Suburban while we were stopped at a red light. The score was: Suburban - $125.00 for a bumper, Rice burner - $?????.?? (totaled). There were six in the Suburban, I was the only one injured. I tightened my arms and got a little sore neck out of it. I saw him coming and yelled to the rest of the family to drop and they all did. I did have to use 4WD to pull off of the hood of the wreck. It is amazing what a Drawtight hitch with an insert in the receiver will do to the grill, radiator, hood, firewall and windshield of a nice red (little) car. That was how far under us he was. Now, someone try ot convince me that an SUV is not more crash worthy than a rice burner.

We just bought our second Suburban, a 1999 model and you got it right, it also has a Drawtight hitch and insert already in place. I drive the 1987 model to work and Mrs SLB and the kids drive the 1999.
