More and more drivers in Phoenix and across the United States are making the jump from trucks and sedans to SUVs. Not only are they switching to SUVs, they're sticking with them. A consumer data analysis from earlier this year found that around two-thirds of SUV owners shopping for new cars earlier this year, bought replacement SUVs. Looking at the overall auto industry as a whole, there isn't another vehicle type that can match that.

SUVs like the 2017 Ford Explorer present a solid picture of why this trend is rising.

A large-size SUV that can do a little bit of everything, the Explorer has seven seats and 86 cubic feet of potential cargo space. Its twin turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine can likewise support a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. Add in safety features like Ford's (BLIS) Blind Spot Information System and active cruise control, and you have an SUV that can handle a ton of tasks while also keeping you safe.
