"Pursuit SUV" is such a dumb concept in the first place. A tall and heavy vehicle going fast is dumb. A Pursuit Vehicle should have proper weight distribution (low to the ground and balanced) for stability and handling.

Yeah, but on the other hand, you can put a lot more Punisher stickers on an SUV.

Supposedly police need pursuit SUVs to chase vehicles off-road. But the real reason is obviously so that the cops can feel like strong spouse-abusers at work too.

They could use cars like actual law enforcement but the cops need booster seats to see, so they get an SUV to look like a big boy.
