They have to be safer since people are more interested in staring at their phones than the road

Of course Safer than a compact sedan or small crossover but Less Safe compared to the 2015+ GM Full size and other full size brands like Ford Expedition!

So technically my 2013 Escalade EXT being a crewcab will be less safe than my 2011 Yukon Denali ?
I just also seen the 2012 Suburban side crash test ( moving deformable barrier ) it's v scary the suburban rolled over from the impact! This is YouTube video link

Not really the point I was making. As I couldn’t find an overlap crash for a Suburban I don’t know if it is safer than a crew cab truck of the same platform. They may be similar actually.
The point I was getting at is that in the overlap crash, extended cabs usually do better than crew cabs.
So perhaps the suburban/tahoe would perform similarly to their crew cab truck counterpart?
Watch this video, specifically the Silverado tests. Crew cab performs worse than the extended cab.

Thanks Carl for info that's v scary crash test on Silverado and Ram crewcab. So my 2013 Escalade EXT can be as bad as Silverado or Ram crewcab ?
Don't know. I would suspect the Escalade EXT/Avalance to perform closer to the Suburban/Yukon than Silverado. No overlap test videos are out there on youtube for the burb/hoe/kon/Esky...
But I did find this, which is essentially your Esky EXT.

That's Not bad at all it looks passenger compartment stayed intact. If am Not mistaken they got 5 stars rating for frontal crash ?
