I'm not insulting your choice of a large vehicle here, but what happens when everyone owns a 7500 lb vehicle? Then you are just as likely to die as before. What happens when you hit someone in the truck and kill them, where they would have otherwise survived? Braking in a smaller car may have made that situation even less close by being able to stop sooner and definitely by being able to maneuver quicker and without fears of rolling. I'm not so sure I agree driving should be an arms race.
Regardless, it is good to hear a story that ends well.
