The SUV thing is typical of any short wheel base, high Center of Gravity vehicle. Lord knows the US Army Jeep killed more GI's than did the enemy....certainly the case for the M-151 Jeep of the Vietnam War Era.
Modern pickup trucks now have the fuel tanks "inside" the frame rails vice outside as they did for ages. That was the result of accidents, research studies, and changes in the Federal law.
Nothing is as unforgiving as the Air when combined with gravity. The Sea runs a very close second. Neither of which surpass a woman scorned!
