That’s an easy fix. Just jack up annual registration or taxes, but only for large trucks and SUVs, to $10K a year. Problem solved… Or make it a scale based on engine size, or total car width/length/height, whatever. It’s so easy to regulate… And in fact the US used to regulate large vehicles more strictly, so we already know that it can be done.
An astonishingly easy fix would be to just add a tax like a property tax based on vehicle weight. Make it scale enough to be prohibitive, but anyone who needs it will be willing to pay.
