Well given enough time you can get a 4 wheel drive unstuck in a surprising number of situations. That doesn't mean it is pleasant or easy but there is truth in that part of John's statement.
Likewise, though confidence bites drivers of all types of vehicles. The mentality of some may indeed make it higher for SOME SUV owners and worse some of them don't even understand how it could have happened ("but I have four wheel drive") it seems which is scary. However, no group of drivers has a monopoly in this regard. There are fools and prudent behind the wheel of all types of vehicles.
The other mark against the traditional beast of a SUV is they don't really handle very well. Massive, high center of gravity, poor lateral grip, and maybe too much confidence can = ditch and when they do too often they seem to end up upside down which can be a real concern.
If at all possible the best place for any vehicle when the roads are crap is in the garage. I do my best to keep mine there when I can.
