Replying to the other sibling comment here about paying for its cost. Vehicles in the US are taxed mainly by taking the gas that goes into them, the more gas (diesel) they use the more taxes they're paying, so it works out as the commenter hoped, if you have a bigger more thirsty vehicle you pay more taxes to maintain things like roads and infrastructure.
