One of the main issues is the incompatible heights of the crumple zones in different vehicles, probably more so than weight.
This effectively renders them less efficient, or even non-existant in disimilar crashes.

A standard crumple zone / safety measures height for ALL vehicles, would sort a lot of problems.
Yes, it'd be difficult to do on a full sized truck, but definitely not impossible when starting a new design.
