Negative, nope, no way. Mom's wrong on this one.

That whole philosophy of "bigger is safer" is not necessarily true.

You want to bolster your argument, you present facts. Show her the safety ratings of the truck versus the car you want to get. Then you show her how much money you are going to save by going to an automobile including insurance, maintenance and upkeep.
