There are still a large number of folks who buy based on price and MPG only. It's a lot like those whose favorite restaurants are those with all ya can eat buffets for $9.95 and no consideration for quality....

However, the statistics would not agree that a truck is safer than a passenger car. The rate of vehicle fatalities in light trucks is considerably higher than for passenger cars by about 30%. Now, there are probably a variety of reasons for this if I had to guess they would include but not be limited to: higher roll-over percentage, less miles driven in trucks on average, lower seat-belt usage (guessing), higher rate of alcohol usage (guessing), general driver habits (guessing).
