      They both increase the risk of drag under if a pedestrian is hit, and they both have decreased visibility in comparison to a sedan, hatchback, coupe, etc. Etc.

        So do semitrucks, that doesn’t mean they’re the same thing. Btw I’m pretty sure visibility from most SUVs is significantly better than from an average pickup.

      Legally they are. Both SUVs and pickups are legally classified in the US as “light trucks” (or “light-duty trucks”).
