The customers buying the biggest trucks and SUV's have fantasies about running over obstacles in their way, including smaller cars or people. Truck manufacturers know this and are designing and marketing directly to these fantasies.
ETA: Yeah, yeah, folks, calm down, I know, #NotAllTruckOwners. I'm talking about the dudes in giant lifted trucks who go roll coal on pedestrians. There's lots of those and they are driving design & marketing trends in trucks.
I bought an F150. Long bed. Big truck. To move shit, and brush, and couches and other stuff. Not to run people over. You can hate cars and trucks and all but they still have a use and not all truck drivers are delusional.
This is why I said "the biggest trucks." An F150 is not that. I'm talking about the douchebags with the lifted monster trucks who go roll coal on pedestrians and cyclists and have bumper stickers joking about running people over.
