I used to feel this way until I rode around with my roommate a bit in his pickup. clipping a curb in my small hatchback would scrape or even deform the rims. in a big truck you don't have to care. he wouldn't even try to avoid curbs; he would just roll right over them if he felt they were inconvenient.

another (possibly more legitimate) reason is that many speed bumps seem to be calibrated for large vehicles with lots of suspension travel. the speed bumps at the grocery store I go to are incredibly jarring in my car, feels like I am bottoming out the suspension even under 5mph. in a big truck, this is not a problem.
