A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:

Modern SUVs can haul most things these days including boats, small utility trailers, and small campers.
My Volvo station wagon is can tow 3000 pounds
Modern SUVs are actually tiny, but look big, as far as I’ve seen here in Sweden. I’ve more then once parked next to a SUV I thought was big, then as I get out of my Volvo V70 I realise it’s very often just a Kia Picanto-esque car which had been raised, given a muffin top and ridiculously big wheels.
A few years ago I got into a friend’s Jeep Grand Cherokee and was amazed that it was the same size inside as my Jetta Wagon. But mine regularly got 40mpg and his got 20mpg
From my north american perspective, SUVs are getting bigger. Full size SUVs like a chevy suburban, toyota highlander, and even hyundai telluride are bigger than many older full sized trucks. The bumper heights are increasing and these SUVs are replacing the family minivan or hatchback to spend most of their lives just getting grocceries.
Depends on the SUV, and trucks can generally haul larger loads. I didn’t want to waste commentary pedantically covering every eventuality, and why I said “usually”.
