In addition, suvs are also unnecessary and unneeded.

You want a cross country vehicle? Get a jeep or a Suzuki samurai or a Unimog. You want to flaunt your wealth and show everyone how big you are on the road? Buy a tram company and lobby your city to install it. If you can't do that, you're not wealthy enough and have no right to flex.

I agree about SUVs actually, but that's a different argument. That one is more opinionated, whereas I can't even fathom this ones being arguable.

Good old jeeps. Same mileage as a pickup truck with no load capacity.
