No actually its not that simple. You should inform yourself. Because of car lobbying, the US has adopted pretty much every possible way to accommodate larger cars. The idea that it is all free choice is nonsense. An important one being, that 'light trucks' were excluded from fuel standards. The US alone has refused to consider pedestrian safety in safety assessment. This allows car markers to have profit from those vehicles while they don't make profit from smaller vehicles. This alone is a huge intensive for car makers to sell as many of these vehicles as possible. We can go threw the list of all the other things, under-priced huge highways, lane width, car parking minimum (number and size), free city parking, import tariffs, legal definitions for pedestrian safety and so on. Like seriously there are so many government forced factor that makes it more likely people will pick up bigger cars. The big cars are only possible in the first place because road regulation from 60/70 forced everybody to build way larger roads. Compare a subburb from the 60s with one from the 80s. Only once the government had changed and rebuilt the whole of the US road network did larger vehicle become more common. And these vehicle literally don't make sense. Its cultural. The pickups popular in the US now are not actually sensible by any measure that is done. Real trades people still prefer vans and older smaller pickups. The idea that this is some 'free market' is complete nonsense. If people actually had to pay for all these absurdly sized road and all this other stuff, they wouldn't want it. But I guess "This is America" is correct, where car companies and high building companies dictate government transportation policy despite tons of evidence its horrible.
