So the U.S. is larger.... well done you have won that arguement
Yes..... In case you didn’t notice the US has many foldS larger population too. In case you didn’t notice it also has largest market of privately owned vehicles, perhaps larger then whole Europe. And here close to 60% of personal vehicles happen to be trucks and SUVs.
Doesn't change the fact that scandinavia has LOTS of snow and yet everyone manages without 4X4.
It also doesn’t change the fact that well over half of America receives some amount of snow during winter and it also has many more hundreds of miles of roads that can’t be cleared right away. While Europeans live in clusters in their puny countries, the Americans prefer to live in suburbs and farms where they will remain stuck without 4x4s.
Pushing the 4x4 button is one thing...being able to use the vehicle correctly in this mode (in "off road" conditions) is a totally different regardless of gender.
4x4 maybe a novelty in Europe, but here people use it quite often without receiving any special training.
If you go off road (completely away from the beaten path) to do these things then fair enough, but honestly...how many people do that?
Obviously, you have visited the US but not lived here or you wouldn’t have made such a statement.
Beside, how many Europeans can afford to own the SUVs, and I am not even talking about the larger American SUVs?
