People that say this probably use the vehicle maybe once or twice a year for that purpose. Otherwise it’s an overpriced grocery store and commuting vehicle. Lol.
Also this looks like a pretty shifty vehicle to tow a boat.
Also, this shit carries 8 people. You telling me every family has at least 6 children? Such bullshit m8. Data indicates otherwise at ~3-4 people in a family since the 1960s. [1]
I got rid of my gas guzzler (Ford Expedition) the end of last year for this reason. I hated driving it daily to have the ability to tow our camper a few times a year. I sold them both and got a used Mitsubishi Lancer, it’s fun to drive and gets 33 mpg. Oh and it fits a family of 4, no problem. If you regularly need 3 rows and the same cargo space as a tool shed, you need to reevaluate. Lol
depending on the camper, you could probably tow a small one (if not verry well) on a ford escort.
The jeep probably doesnt sell well because their reliability is terrible. But people will spend their money on what they want. When you become the next facist leader in america you can ban them.
why is banning a car facist? its mabe a shitty thing to do depending on what you beleave and potentially authoritarian but to be fascist requires verry specific things.
Have you considered becoming amish? They use horse and buggy, right?
Thats a grear idea!
Me and my girl dont have to pay for anymore blinker fluid! It was so expensive, 30% of my payvhecks went into blinker fluid alone.
