Sport utility vehicles dream of climbing mountain trails, forging high-country streams and slogging through bumper-deep powder snow. However, more often than not, everyday chores give way to this dream and today's SUVs are usually relegated to grocery haulers or carting the kids around. For this reason, today's SUVs often combine the best of both worlds.
