Credit-card delinquencies hit record - Good read I thought.

Key word here is "commuting". I'm from ND and the people who own trucks and SUVs there actually use them like you describe and then some and I'm not against that. Here people use them to drive to their office job. They always say "well it's nice to have, because we tow our boat once a month, blah, blah, blah". In reality it's used as a utitlity vehicle 2% of the time and as general transportation 98% of the time. Here's an idea, get a truck AND a car and use the right one for the right job. Seriously get a Honda and stop fucking up traffic, parking, etc with your oversized, overprized, gas wasting land yaht. The bad thing is they've gotten so "buick like" that idiots actually think these vehicles stop and handle like cars.
