Yikes. I would expect a car based SUV to do better.

What car is it based on?



Trick question, it's not. It shares underpinnings with the Mercedes-Benz ML and GL



It's unibody (like most cars), not body-on-frame (like most trucks)....maybe that's what you meant?
I was thinking unibody vs body on frame. Were that a tall old school SUV with solid axles I wouldn't be surprised, but a unibody SUV with a relatively low center of gravity and independent suspension should do better. The comparison to the Volvo and VW was a good illustration.
