You assume that just because a vehicle is bigger, that it automatically makes it safer. Crash tests have shown that the badly designed SUVs fare worse in crashes than well designed smaller cars.
Just taking a large, heavy chassis and sticking some body work on the top of it does not make it safer than a car designed with crash survivability in mind.
