There's no way I'd put my kids in the back of any of those vechiles if my ute was sitting at home. Particularly after you've been to a few bad MVAs involving small cars.

I do far too many Ks in my ute that is just daily driving. All unnecessary for the big wagon with the RUC and increased maintenance costs etc. Plus it’s just a lot of km that aren’t necessary for my new vehicle really. Spent all that money on it just to burn it away driving to and from work when I can use a cheap runner for that and then have the truck garaged away during the week and pull it out for weekend fun or when it’s needed for dogs or towing etc. That’s the plan anyway.

The kids go with my wife in her new Toyota Highlander most days and I only pick them up or drop them off maybe once or twice a week at the most. We are moving next week so that trip for me will only be a few km down the road through town now too with all the rest of the driving mainly just being me by myself on my work commute each day.
