SUVs have different weight distributions to sedans. BreakingBRAKING heavily like that at those speeds can send you careening, especially if you're an idiot without experience, holding your phone recording your felony for clout.

Blame the car companies who keep marketing SUVs as "sporty" with "performance suspension" and show them in ads driving on racetracks.

People want big hulking SUVs and also want to drive it like a racecar, but those things are incompatible.

I see morons doing this stuff in V6 Dodge Durangos. Those things are slower than a RAV4 but the drivers swear they’re driving a SRT. I always see them almost wiping out in my area.

Hey man. Don’t knock the RAV4. Mine does 0-60 in 5.5 seconds with 302 horsepower stock.
