I don't know man. Most big SUVs on EU roads are German. Same goes for "sport" cars. While American trucks are terrible the crazies in BMWs and Mercedes SUVs with huge engines have more impact (as they are more of them).

EU regulators bent over to German companies allowing those cars on the road without additional restrictions. We all pay for that.

True but the problem with modern American trucks is that they have a high front (which means low frontal visibility)

That's the biggest issue now differentiating them

Even an older American truck is less dangerous than the modern generation
