How much sooner? If we eliminate the diesel engine these people would live forever, right?
On a side not, why is everyone so down on SUVs when the trucks are just as bad? No one said a word when I had a 1500 Silverado but sneak a glance at an SUV and there will be hell to pay. The Siverado is about the same thing as a Suburban,
AFAIK, in most respects. Many guys to use them as transport. Seems to me like the SUV might be the female version of the truck. Because of a male bonding thing, they are more hesitant to criticize the truck than the SUV.
