Depends on the type. An xterra..yes. A sportage...most likely not. A big one like a suburban or explorer...i wouldn't be surprised.

It truly does depend on the type. Any SUV without some sort of stability system is prone to roll over. I would avoid doing donuts with SUV's in general because, yes, an SUV can flip very easily when the right forces are applied.

Yes, you may flip it, especially if you hit a rut in the road. And why would you be frying doughnuts in your SUV as you drive? Watch out for the hot oil when you flip!
He...he...couldn't resist that one. But I see some other smart-aleck already beat me to that joke. I thought of it before he did, tho. He just beat me typing it by a few hours.
And yes, I grew up in rural Fresno County; I know what donuts are. I used to "pull donuts" on my '73 Montego at Reedley Beach. Great car!

Yes, the center of gravity is higher in an SUV. Increased volecity will send it over.

You bet your sweet bippy you can! SUVs have a much higher center of gravity and roll much more easily than cars! One major reason that I won't own or drive one! They are serious death traps!

Hell yes. I've seen a teenager roll an Explorer after he just slid it sideways trying to show off leaving a stop sign.

If you are not a trained professional stunt driver...then I do not think that you or anyone should take a chance to find out. Insurance is expensive & so are repair costs. So...if you think that it won't flip, and your wrong....well?....

it depends on what type of suv but if its with stock wheels, yes. if its got different wheels(Wider wheels, spinners), 85% sure it'll flip.
