I appreciate your point and I agree the outrage of "do not take away my truck" would cause whiplash, even if it is unnecessarily large and and wasteful and unsafe.

But arguably the arms race of large trucks in the US, Canada, Australia, is largely a viral meme that advertisers have managed to instill with insane profit.

It is not a product of exercising freedom but a product of Marketing psyops capturing reptilian brain urges from consumers. Quite succesfully I might add.
