Except for airbags, seatbelts, crumple zones, automatic braking, etc.

Yeah, they don't really have crumple zones, that's kind of the problem.
"Look at how strong this truck is, it survived an accident with barely a scratch!" just means it transferred all the energy to the wet squashy piles of mixed meat inside.

The NHTSA publishes safety ratings for every vehicle. You can look at their crash test reports. The 2021 Chevy Tahoe[1] and the 2020 Ford Explorer[2] are comparable to the 2022 Toyota Corolla.[2] The photos clearly show the presence of crumple zones.
In each of the PDFs, you can find the occupant data summary on page 6 and the photos starting around page 42.
