It is a very comfy ride for a bike. Most guys ride cross-country, or at least a few states in them.
however, I hate SUVs. I know there is a need for them as well, but to me, the popularity of SUVs in american culture show exactly what is wrong with us today. Too much excess in the wrong places, too much bulk, drivers who do not know how to handle them, and excessive fuel consumption. I HATE them, but I know some people need them. They can have them, the rest of the folks who are delivering their 2.5 kids to school, or making the weekly grocery run should learn to drive a damn car.
