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

      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.
