This is not true. Driving of Enclave/Traverse is very different from a VAN.
I drove an Odyssey for a couple years before and I owns an Enclave now. Try

Crossover SUVs, like Enclave/Traverse, use car-like frame, more comfortable
and for regular highway.
And "TRUE" SUV, like Tahoe, uses truck-like frame, are more powerful in
towing and more suitable for off-road.
There is no "better" SUV, pick what you need. |
