Not necessarily. Historically (though I couldn't find recent hard data in 60 seconds of searching the nets) cars have been safer [1][2], and in particular, less likely to roll over in an accident. Furthermore, when a SUV or truck collides with a car, it's more dangerous for the occupants of the car than in a car-to-car collision [3].

Full disclosure: the last transport I owned was a 2001 Toyota Tacoma pickup. My current transport is the London Underground.
