It never gets brought up, but minivans lack ground clearance. When back SUVs were on the rise in the 90s, I remembered higher ride height as a popular reason that was frequently mentioned. That and the arms race of being in the bigger vehicle during and accident.
- chalcolithic 2y agoBeg my pardon but what high ground clearance is needed for?

- Phrodo_00 2y agoDrive slow and don't go up curbs (there's generally people there!)?
- chalcolithic 2y agohigh curbs? is it even legal?

- daotoad 2y agoI used to joke about creating spray on mud as my million dollar product idea. Macho up your suburban assault vehicle with some many mud splatters without getting your hands dirty.
- yencabulator 2y agoI see a lot of very well waxed and polished "off-road" vehicles in the nearby smallish city. I've never seen a rolling coal lifted pickup on a forest road. Actually looking dirty is not part of their aesthetic. Yours truly, former owner of a ridiculously lifted jeep that's been all over the western half of the US and regularly went up & down dry creek beds with 1+ foot vertical drops/climbs that needed the clearance. That thing never saw a clean day. Hose it until there's no longer mud on the door handles.
