this discussion can cause about the same controversy as discussing college football or someone's wife. We all have our favorite tow vehicle and the various reasons that it works best for us. My wife would turn up her nose at a truck but will drive the Excursion, Suburban or Expedition any day(to name my last 3 tow vehicle) Her reason: SUV's are cool. Even the neice and nephew would rather us pick them up at school in the BIG TRUCK as either of the Miata's in the garage. Go figure. All I know is that if your significant other likes your tow vehicle, it is one less fight. And you can keep something else around to drive on daily basis.
