They have utility and getting rid of trucks in the name of safety is really stupid. How are you going to stock food, how are you going to transport goods?
There's safety, then there's regression. Might as well put everyone in a bubble suit.
And if you look at pickup trucks, they’ve gotten way taller since the 00’s, for no reason except style.
Just teach safety and enforce speeding/dwi/immigration laws.
Much better than taking a certain vehicle away from law abiding citizens.
I need my large truck just as much as I need my EV. I haul stuff constantly while also driving safely and following all laws.
There are other reasons (not that they're good ones):
