Then I am sure you are aware of how the A pillars on cars have grown in response to increased federal frontal crash test requirements. This creates an increased blind spot for drivers that puts pedestrians at greater risk but protects passengers in frontal offset collisions.

The Toyota RAV4, hardly an example of macho-man truck culture, has seen a huge increase in pedestrian accidents as it has grown in size. There are many issues at play here.

The Palisade is a smaller vehicle. It is almost 10” shorter than a Chevrolet Traverse for instance. I never said it was purely for harsh protection. Aerodynamic considerations are also in play.

That isn’t accurate. US crash tests are to protect the passengers. As trucks are heavier, they need more physical material to protect the passengers in crashes. Even the front ends of cars have gotten higher because of the same reasons. Compare the front end of a Honda Accord over 25 years

Light Trucks are much more fuel efficient than they were 15 years ago because of EPA regulations.

They certainly still are not as efficient as cars.

Of course, the automakers have no control over what people do with them when they leave the lot.

I believe there are still CAFE standards for light trucks. Not the same numbers as cars, but they still exist. And it is more efficient to get the air to go around the sides than over the top. Look at a Chevrolet Silverado. They have specific vents in front of the front tires

The Rivian does not have to account for the engine in a crash. My Chevrolet Bolt has a smaller, lower front end than my Cruze did for the same reason.

One of the reasons is frontal crash tests. Another of the reason is aerodynamics associated with fuel efficiency standards. Both worthy goals with unfortunate consequences.
