The reason is "mine is bigger than yours", almost entirely.

And expense, but the size and power numbers are most of what these people care about, like it makes them better than other people in smaller cars in their mind.

I'm pretty sure a lot of them think everyone driving something smaller is jealous and if they say they aren't jealous they're just lying to cover up that they can't be as awesome as big truck drivers
