Absolutely no danger of rollover, as 1587 pounds vertical lift is FAR less than the 3200 pound vehicle weight. This explains why cars rarely roll over while the taller SUVs do so far more often." http://mb-soft.com/public/rollover.html So you might own a Macan or Cayenne or a GLE , but when things go sour , "Recovery is Very Difficult, even for a Professional Driver" So unless you are married to Sabine...
