I recently read an article by the Forbes Auto editor that opined that the "big 3" would be shifting their focus from the full sized SUV's that have been their bread-and-butter, i.e. their big profit centers, for the past decade to the cross-over SUV's that are now flooding the market. My opinion is that they are just puffed up station wagons. Anyway, the article also stated the opinion that the "big 3" would continue to make the work horse vehicles, i.e. trucks and full sized SUV's, for those commercial customers who need them and would continue to make the creature comfort laden versions for the private sector that needs them for purposes such as our own, but they would cut back on production and focus more on the eco friendly offerings in their marketing.

I guess from the article I read, I am comfortable that we will always have adequate tow vehicles available...if we can afford to operated them.
