SUVs are better than pickup trucks.

Current giganto tax-loophole pickups, sure. I drive a 97 standard bed, mostly for hauling (not a daily). It's a great vehicle for the job. There's probably a couple of safety features I wish it had but "be bigger than any potential collision target" isn't one of them.

My concern is the MPG

Most pickups are not work trucks.

Costco trips are the hardest work they do.

My last SUV had the same engine as their smallest pickup truck.

And i bet the SUV got better mpg because of areodynamics.

Not by much, it was a beast. Got around 18 mpg, the equivalent truck gets about 16
