A lot of factors come into play, however, if you over correct and hit a curb/ soft shoulder (anything the rim can dig into) at a high enough speed, the vehicle will flip - that includes a sports car.
SUVs/Trucks have a much higher center of gravity and are therefore even likelier to roll, even if no curb / soft shoulder is hit... so if you're going 100 km/h on an airport runway (nice asphalt, no curbs, etc) and yank the wheel, you'll roll the vehicle. Take a car and do the same thing, you'll simply spin out - yes, due to the lower center of gravity... now that being said, that is assuming the vehicle has proper tire pressure, else the tire will roll off the rim and also cause it to flip.
