As I understand it, this one will be used to move a load of kids, a boat on a trailer, an ice house in the winter and whatever else my resourceful brother can drag behind it. I'm not buying one, but I have different needs and concerns. I don't really care if this thread goes into the SUV / anti SUV discussion, I really was just looking for some opinions on whether this was a ticking timebomb or rather something that could be serviceable. Thanks to all who've taken time to respond. ...Kevin
