I thought SUVs were notoriously dangerous.
That was a lot of BS spread by groups that are inherently against big gas guzzling rigs. The ONLY thing they were anywhere near correct on was they were more likely to roll over.
Note that is MORE likely to roll over versus a low slung car. Not "likely" to roll over.
In my 6000 pound Avalanche with 4 wheel drive, stability control, traction control, ABS, etc I feel a LOT safer than about anything else on the road short of a 80,000 semi or other large commercial truck and it's not tipsy in the least.
Speaking of semis, if you think they can do damage you should see what a train does to ANY vehicle on the road.
Judging by the road conditions in the video I'd say it was likely whatever that SUV was it needed tires, as it didn't appear anyone else was having problems moving at a good pace.
Living in WI I drive in that shit all the time at 60MPH. It's not a big deal as long as you maintain your shit.
