The biggest, SUV on the road. Optional 5.4 L [V-8] (standard), [6.8] L V-10 ([ricer] killer), or 6.0 L/7.3 L [Powerstroke] V-8 Diesel (powerhouse). They are usually found being meandered around by a [soccer mom] or a redneck, weigh nearly 8000 pounds, use a [runway] to stop, handle like trucks, and chug down gas. However, when used properly, they justify these characteristics.
The Pilot: In the hands of a soccer mom, they can, and do, pancake [Prii] (Priuses). In the hands of a redneck, they can be seen being used in a reckless and stupid fashion. However, in the hands of a capable driver, they can be very safe and dont typically run into anything.
Maneuverability: Theyre big. They need space. If you know what youre doing, you can move them into and out of the most cramped parking spaces.
Weight: Theyre big. They weigh a lot, there is no way out of this one.
Long Stop: Factors like brake, tire, and road conditions play critical roles. If the driver is observant though, they can usually stop in time or maneuver around the obstacle.
Handling: The F-250 truck frame is responsible.
[MPG]: [Dismal], but they are amazing people [movers]. When loaded to capacity (8 people), their 15 MPG are justified. BONUS: Plenty of power. It goes in the snow too.
All in all, they only become viable when you need to move people in a climate that can be less than favorable, or if you need an SUV that can do the job of an F-250 (i.e.[tow] a trailer). [Small wonder] they are no longer made.
