Crashing with a very large vehicle (semi scale) is still incredibly dangerous.
Most SUVs are not even close to semi scale though. Large pickups (1-ton) are about ~7000lbs, more if loaded. A semi maxes out (by law) at nearly 80,000lbs, fully loaded.
Crash technology has improved so much in 20 years that I would bet the risks posed by large SUVs is negligible, especially compared to a semi or similar.
