Celebrating Women’s History Month our blog topic today is why women that buy an SUV fall in love and never go back to a sedan. Some reasons are obvious such as most SUVs are equipped for off-roading, most women feel super protected due to the size of the vehicle, and SUVs have more safety features to protect you and your family. But here are some other reasons our female customers swear by

1- They are practical and perfect for all sizes of families

You can fit your entire family, even the grandparents! You will avoid making multiple trips or take multiple vehicles. One trip in a big SUV, and you’ve saved fuel, taken up less space in traffic and in the parking lot, and made maximum use of your resources.

SUVs are not only gorgeous, but they are also practical! They have space for pretty much everything, are extremely comfortable and are very safe. When I think of them I automatically envision an abundance of legroom/headroom, storage space, rear air vents and USB ports, which makes all of our lives a bit easier. In addition to ALL this SUV goodness, the high seating positions offer more visibility, and I feel a lot safer based on their size, durability, and ruggedness.

They are great for carrying large loads. When I am out thrifting and run across an amazing piece of furniture for my apartment, it is super convenient to just fold the seats down and have the stock guy toss my new must-have in the back. Talk about a time & money saver! No more worrying about scheduling and paying delivery fees. #ChaChing ????????

2- Now SUV’s get Excellent Car Mileage

About five years ago, many SUVs were actually inefficient gas hogs. But now, there are multiple SUVs that are rated to over 30 miles per gallon on the highway, still retaining the capacity and benefits of an SUV.

3- Safer

No matter what kind of standard safety equipment, airbags, traction control or anti-lock brakes, you put on a sedan, it will be the loser in a head-on collision with a large truck. It is just a matter of physics.

4- SUV’s keep up with your Hobbies

Some of those hobbies require towing. If you love horses, motorcycles, boats, fishing, camping or even antiquing, chances are you need to tow once in a while, if not more often. You can add a towing kit to a car, but it’s more complicated. Many SUVs arrive with towing capability built right in, and some even come with trailer sway control.

5- OFF-Road Capabilities

It’s not just the ground clearance that makes SUVs better off-road than cars. It’s also transmissions and differentials that are designed to perform off-road.  SUVs were born for off-roading, and they’ve still got that ability.

6- Room for Pets

While it’s not safe to allow your dogs to roam freely through the cabin of any vehicle, in an SUV, accessories like a pet barrier or a pet carrier can turn your SUV’s cargo bay into a safe haven for your dogs during travel. A few manufacturers have even put out dog-friendly editions of their SUVs, strictly to appeal to dog owners.

7- Better in all Weather Conditions

With all of the recent hurricanes and heavy rains across the country, you’ve noticed a bunch of swamped sedans and coupes on city streets. With some simple aftermarket equipment, many SUVs can be outfitted to ford even deeper water, up to 36″ and even deeper.

8- They Carry more Cargo

Three-Row SUV has folding second-row and third-row seats to open up a large cargo area, and some are even bigger than others.
