Any who lives in snowy conditions could want the additional ground clearance or weight for traction.

Ground clearance, all wheel drive, and winter tires are all available on more reasonably sized vehicles.

Unnecessary; roads get salted or cleared by public organisations.

Never lived in northern new england i take it? Maybe in your neck of the woods they get plowed early and often. In some parts of the country you won't get to work until noon if you wait for the plows.

Then fix the incompetent government, it's cheaper than everyone buying tanks.

So then the issue is the lack of plowing. How does a big car solve that? Is there no work from home option?

Do company employers not try to take the weather into account? Are there no work from home options?
