Maybe he likes to see all of the traffic around him, something that is not possible in a small vehicle.
Where basically all one can see is the rear bumper of the vehicle in front of you.

You have some very poor driving habits.
A real driver wants to see everything around him, not just whats behind him.
I have avoided many possible collisions be watching all traffic in front of me, including vehicles coming out of hidden driveways.
Anticipating their moves and acting accordingly.

I avoided a rear end collision by looking in the rear view mirror, ass hat was sipping coffee. I pulled out out of the line of traffic when I saw he wasn’t stopping. He stopped, but he definitely would have hit me. Fortunately, I left myself an out and was able to pull out. Thanks UPS.

I had one of those back in the early 80's and drove a small caravan ( not a grand caravan ) for UPS in the 90's.
They both lack the power to make it up a snowy incline.

Ford Recalls 20,000+ Hybrid SUVs over Battery Concerns

The Ford Motor Co is recalling 20,484 hybrid crossover SUVs over battery concerns that could potentially lead to a fire.

The Ford Motor Co is recalling 20,484 hybrid crossover SUVs over battery concerns that could potentially lead to a fire, documents lodged with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) set out.

The recall covers 16,480 Escape and 4004 Lincoln Corsair plug-in-hybrid SUVs from model years 2020 to 2024.
In documents filed with the NHTSA, the automaker said the problem occurred in manufacturing, and resulting “microdefects and local stresses” could cause the high-voltage battery cell’s separator layer to become damaged, leading to a short circuit and potentially, a fire.

My wifes less than a year old Bronco has already had 3 recalls. The most we have ever had on any vehicle. She loves that Bronco BUT it gets old having recalls all the time. Nothing major like wheels falling off - just little things like sensors that aren't doing their job right.
