Contact Your Guide to SUVs - Get Answers to Your Questions about SUVs

Like all the Guides at About.com, I'm a real person. You can email me at SUVs.guide@about.com. I can't promise that I'll answer every email, but I can promise that I will read them, consider them, and take them into account as I continue to build this site.

I read the About SUVs Forum regularly. Chances are that there are other people with the same questions that you have -- so I would rather answer most questions on the Forum, where the most people can benefit. Please check it out -- you might find answers to questions you didn't even realize you had!

F.A.Q.

  1. Q. What exactly is a Sport Utility Vehicle or "SUV" anyway?
    A. In the simplest possible terms -- a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is a passenger vehicle with a flexible seating configuration and a cabin that includes a cargo area, and lacks a dedicated trunk. Most SUVs are built on a light truck platform, and many are equipped with 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

    For our purposes, we'll also include Crossover vehicles, SUV-like creatures that are built on a car platform.

    We'll exclude any vehicle that has a pickup bed -- you can find those at About Trucks.
