A lot of German SUVs are heavier than full sized American pickup trucks, even when they look much smaller.

At least you can see the ground ahead of you, weight is not the only thing affecting safety.

Yes, large heavy unibody SUVs like the Q7/Touareg/Cayenne with all of the safety tech of a high end German luxury car are likely the safest cars possible- for the passengers at least.
