For a little while my mentality was that vehicles were getting so big here that my family was better off in the biggest thing on the road. We bought a GMC Yukon XL Denali.
I wised up and downsized twice. First to a minivan then a smaller SUV.
You’re not wrong. But the other commenter is equally right. I was never given a poll or survey for preferred vehicle size, it’s just what the market is, not selected by commuters. It’s an industry thing.
Most people are like you. We look around us and get what seems normal. Unfortunately, marketing and constant push to get the bigger(and more expensive) vehicle changes what the normal would be if we just humbly choose the simpler cost-effective option.
You spent zero time whatsoever researching what vehicle you needed and instead went with “monkey see, monkey do” and bought the largest, most dangerous 16mpg land barge you could find. I’m not even fuckcars but the idea that anyone outside of some sort of private escort service could see a fuckhuge $62,000 GMC truck and have the audacity to tell someone they bought it for “muh safety” is a liar.

A $65,000 luxury SUV is not “normal”
Holy shit you’re the problem, not a victim
Oh dude please go fuck yourself
