And oil change intervals of 3000 miles? Even my '88 Toyota pickup specifies 10K miles.

True. They are both gas guzzlers. But somebody who is strictly shopping for an SUV (their mind is set) might be unlikely to consider the difference. Granted, they probably don't care anyway, but they'll pay for the 2mpg whether they know it or not.
Yeah, 3000 is a conservative estimate.
