The Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger

I always thought it was a combination of masculine insecurities and one upping your neighbors.

Edit: lifted trucks, after market front bars, louder exhaust with larger exhaust tips, truck nuts, American flags or thin blue line flags covering the rear window.. None of these are from government regulations

My wife has a large truck and we bought it when we had no neighbors living in the middle of nowhereville Montana. She bought it because she was terrified to drive her prius around because bigger trucks would tail gate, break too late and nearly kill her, and generally antagonize the smaller car. So she got a giant Dodge Ram and now feels safe to drive. Now that we've moved out to the city, she feels even safer.

I like that when I hit two deer in it there was zero, absolutely zero, damage to the vehicle. Thank you brush guard.
