The only vehicles to get perfect 5 star crash test ratings in every category by the NHTSA are mid-sized and small sedans, hatchbacks and station wagons, at least for the the 2020 and 2021 years.

This. And part of the reason crumple zones suck in large vehicles is due to the fact rhe vehicle is so large, requiring more energy before the vehicle is moved by an outside force therefore requiring crumple zones to be much less likely to actually crumple.
