Of course your original post didn't include that you rolled yours (might be important) and the vibe was that this was "research". Why not just be straight up? Your posts just reeks of someone trying to gather info for other, less ingenuous purposes.

Besides being every vehicle is susceptible to a rollover with the right conditions.

I've put a couple vehicles on their sides once or twice. But never drove anything near as tippy as my Honda CRV. That felt like it was going to roll in a stiff wind.

First - Sorry to hear of your experience. I sincerely hope you and your dog are OK.
Second - Since all of these trucks are insanely tall now, I doubt you'd have fared any better in another brand. All heavy duty pickups would have reacted the same, and probably most 4x4 SUVs.
Third - The Owner's manuals are loaded with weasel-speak language on the handling of 4x4 trucks. I'm not sure on 2wd trucks. If you were ever to bring this to litigation, I think that will be the first and most important argument.
Fourth - I'm not sure what panels in the 99-2016 Super Dutys are lightweight. It feels to me that it is exactly opposite. I think all panels are steel (I'm certain my 2003 is). I have brand new doors as spares for my trucks. Granted they may have gotten wet, but they have to weigh about 200lbs each (fully loaded with glass, motors, door-cards, etc.). Everything on these trucks are simply heavy. But that doesn't make it less of a roll-over risk. There is no optimum weight once "tall" is involved.
