Jeeps are the original SUV - take a look at history of the Willys, FJs, & MJs. They put the utility in SUV: Milk trucks, tow trucks, panel vans, transport, snow plows, etc. They were made for work; the new breed of SUVs are made for pleasure and convenience.

Jeeps are the original SUV

I completely agree.
But the term has evolved into something else, now. I am not sure it meets the current iteration of the term. I tend to think of my Jeep as more of a street-legal ATV.
