Whether you’re open to ideas or have a specific wish list, choosing a new vehicle at the car dealership is a tough decision. There are many different types and sizes of cars, from compact cars to SUVs and trendy crossovers. An SUV employs a truck’s chassis while a crossover applies the same principles to a car’s platform. A bigger ride can be a great choice if a few criteria fit your life.

How to Know an SUV or Crossover Is Right for You

1. Transporting a Big Family

If you have a large family, an SUV just may be essential. If you have a growing family and only have sedans in the driveway, you probably already know what it’s like to visit relatives for Thanksgiving or go on a road trip. Rather than start using two cars every time the whole family hits the road, it’s time to upgrade. Even if you only have a couple of kids, an SUV or crossover model gives you room to spread out on a road trip. You’ll be able to put the days of close quarters leading to arguing kids behind you.

2. Towing

Some hobbies require towing. If you have horses, like to go fishing, or want to go camping, you’ll probably need to be able to tow your equipment around. Although you can sometimes tow with a small car, it’s difficult and possibly detrimental to the vehicle. Most SUVs have towing capabilities built in to save you some time and hassle, and the staff at the car dealership will explain the capacity.

3. Storing Cargo

If you have trouble getting all of your cargo into a coupe or station wagon, it might be time for a space upgrade. SUVs and crossovers are great for luggage on trips or a week of groceries. There’s the chance you’ll need unexpected room for something your kid brings home from school or a beautiful find at an antique store, which a compact car could never accommodate. Check the dimensions of the trunk and fold down storage at the car dealership to make sure it will fit all of your needs.
