You can load up an SUV with equipment for outdoor recreation, friends, and picnic supplies, whether you are going to the lake downtown or to a nature reserve miles away. The wide streets of the city will easily accommodate a larger vehicle, and when you hit the open road toward nature's bounty beyond the city limits, you will have power and traction as you navigate rougher roads.
