cuz the Q7's 118" wheelbase sure compares awfully favorably to the big three's 119-120" standard cab pickups.

118"-120" is a short wheelbase. A Ford regular cab pickup is 133" wheelbase, crew cab is 168". A regular cab weighs about 5000 lbs, crew cab a few hundred more.
A F-150 regular cab short bed is 117" and about 4000 lbs... It can be downright scary to tow 5000+ lbs with one. Been there done that, never again. The foreign econobox wheelbase is not suitable for towing heavy loads, just as the SWB play truck is not suitable for towing heavy loads. Not to say it can't be done, but just because you can doesn't mean it's a great idea...
