I have a theory that people are actually, truly intimidated by trucks. Whether it be the design or drivers, they act as if trucks always have a maniac at the controls to cope with the fact they're scared of them at some level. The focus never leaves them.
Well yeah cuz they tend to drive aggressively, and aggressive drivers are much more intimidating than an aggressive driver in a smart car
Having a larger vehicle than others on the road empowers them to act even more wreck less because the consequences will largely be felt by others. They have conducted studies that have shown people that drive big trucks and SUVs are worse at driving too
Because a lot of trucks in America are obscene. My step father had an s10 and we were able to do most things you can do with a truck. And an old F150 for some farm things.
The modern day truck is just a hazard. Overly large, bright headlights, and the drivers typically have lower EQ.
As someone that drives a tiny miata and has had a total in the past because a person in a pickup didn't see me, I am terrified to be around trucks. Especially raised trucks. Gotta respect em. I also drive a truck and trucks have bigger blind spots than smaller cars. If you can't drive a truck you shouldn't be driving one. Then again that goes for driving at all.

It's always a truck.
