I don’t have a direct answer. I think BobK alluded to the core issue: suitable tires. By way of comparison, when the tires on my ML got to about their half life, the car started to wander in slushy conditions. Replaced them and it’s been better than ever – literally - as the replacements are winter rated tires.

Another element is probably the soccer moms and dads in these uber SUVs that aren’t used to driving on ice. And probably another element is the numb lack of feedback a lot of these trucks provide.
