Yep...that's what I've noticed as well. When stuck behind them in traffic, you can see their size is magnified externally: Wide fender flares, mouldings, big tires, etc. But if you stripped that off to the actual vertical walls, there's not much there, there. It's all show.
The sled has more rear cargo room than most SUV's. It also doesn't "porpoise" on freeways or knock my head around constantly.
