Interesting it's just trucks that are the problem, and not SUVs as well. Just as large, hell some weigh more.

The spa-burban is a truck.

Is it a 6000lb monster on a truck frame and enjoying the worse/looser safety regs? Then Truck.

Most are on a literal "truck" frame. Silverado/suburban for example.

That ignores big unibody SUVs. Most that I'm speaking to are not on truck frames. For example https://www.autoweek.com/news/a1720016/ranked-every-unibody-non-luxury-three-row-crossover/

They are part of the problem too.

They're also literally a truck with a roof over the bed.

In the US, SUVs are considered "Light trucks" and the same regulations apply to them.
