Hmm that sounds like an interesting choice. Why did you pick it instead of a Range Rover or something?

Costs was a big factor, including costs of insurance (a huge factor (the CRV is $35 to insure)) and costs of parts. Not to mention the costs (and availablily) of aftermarket stuff.

Plus I have a few friends who have them as well and they’re very fun little SUVs

Oh I forgot about insurance. But here where I live there’s a different kind of it which is extremely cheap afaik so it’s not much of a factor. And yea all of that makes sense. I’m just not a fan of SUVs I guess

I’m definitely not a fan of modern SUVs which are basically tanks (like seriously you should def check this tool out to compare car sizes)

I was also looking at smaller pickups (like 1980s to 1999) but they’re so bloody expensive right now locally.

I even looked at kei trucks (and almost bought one (they’re street legal in my state) but changed my mind when I double checked how it would affect my insurance cost and they told me they wouldn’t insure it, so I’d have to get a second insurance plan from another company and I didn’t want to go through that headache.
