Only twice as heavy and more susceptable to side winds.

twice as heavy (which they really are not) means more weight on the wheels,
which give a higher coefficient of friction, plus the fact that they have
bigger tires. It also helps if you don't drive faster than your ability to
stop for the conditions.

If you don't like SUV's, OK, but this is a stupid argument to base the cons
on.
