Having a debate with a friend. Im going chevy suburban. My friend thinks the Lincoln Navigator has superior safety features given the higher price. We both assumed the SUVs have superior flip/spinout risk compared to upsized pickups.

Tesla won't flip.
But a volvo is supposed to be the safest (or one of the safest) still.

I survived a very bad wreck in a 1980 Ford Mustang. Woke up 10 days and 3 surgeries later.

Mass is general helpful in survivability but massive vehicles are usually the worst at avoiding accidents. P/Us and large SUVs are far more often involved in single-car accidents.
My choice for most survivable vehicles:
RR Cullinan
Lexus LX570
Both are on the high end of mass and will have better active and passive safety than the domestics. Of course the Cullinan isn't "common" so my answer is the LX570.
FYI between the two you listed the Navigator has a higher safety rating.

The answer is:
A public transit bus.
You’re welcome.

Volvo says it’s them
quote:
Stronger in every sense To help keep the occupant space inside intact in a crash, the all-new XC90 has literally been made stronger in every sense. This is achieved by more extensive use of hot-formed boron steel, which is the strongest type of steel presently used in the car body industry. The complete safety cage around the occupants is made from hot-formed boron steel and is designed for maximum occupant protection in all types of crash scenarios. The hot-formed steel amounts to about 40 per cent of the total body weight. “This is approximately five times more than the first generation XC90. To our knowledge, this high usage of high-strength steel is unique compared with our competitors,” says Prof. Lotta Jakobsson.

Flipped a Tahoe 3X at 60 mph. Walked away

It really depends on what kind of collision you’re talking about. Head on, T-bone, rear ended, roll, etc.
I repair them all (if they’re repairable). The crumple zones that are engineered into the unibody cars and SUV’s are pretty remarkable. The airbag systems in some of these vehicles are pretty awesome as well.
If I’m putting a loved one in a vehicle, it’s going to be body on frame with curtain, knee bolster and seat airbags, and it’s definitely not going to be a Ford aluminum body truck or SUV. That shite is held together with glue and rivets. It’s trash.
ETA: some FYI type stuff: anything listed in restraint systems (prices for replacement of parts and labor), which includes harnesses, modules, sensors and bags, can not be used to total your vehicle without your written consent unless the repairs equal (or go over) 100% percent of the NADA value of your vehicle. Louisiana Law.

Fj Cruiser if you're going to be rear ended by an 18 wheeler.

Heard really good things about the AMC Pacer, big bang for your buck.

20years in Level 1 Trauma and I'll tell you physics always wins.
Full size body on frame SUV > *
Crash avoidance only helps so much, and crash tests ratings only conducted at 40mph and they do not test rear impacts.

Probably one of the Bawmobile F series or Chevy trucks.
