It’s a good metric in my neck of the woods, but you make a valid point.

Pretty sure the tow rating played a part in the Yukon purchase. At that age, I would imagine it is paid for, so gas, maintenance (LS!), and insurance are probably still average out to less than a payment on a newer small ute/van.

Plus, we tend to not have state income tax.  Even more of your tax dollars where they should be - in your pocket.

1.5 years ago America was a net exporter of oil and natural gas.  This is all political theater.  Gas could be $2.00 a gallon tomorrow if we were energy independent again, plus we could cripple Russia’s economy.  Meanwhile, China is taking copious notes on every move Putin makes and how the world responds.

No.  By all means be very offended by this stupidity

Great points.  How significant is the weight gain?  This will directly affect braking performance, which is a safety issue.  On the same subject, will these need to be submersed in water for days at a time when they catch fire?

Underrated comment.

Which religion did he establish? You have shown more concern about his choice of empathy than for the lives affected by this tragedy.  Nice straw man with the gun-nuts too, by the way.
