That’s a list of a bunch of trucks compared to a midsized SUV, so you’re kind of proving yourself wrong. Cars are split into weight classes, so a comparison that doesn’t acknowledge that isn’t very useful. A EV Sedan is on average much heavier than an ICE sedan.
No one’s saying ICE vehicles are better for the environment than EVs
Those are the most sold vehicles in the US, when you have heavy EV’s in the top slots you can say that heavy ev’s are a problem… until then it’s what you are buying is causing the problem.

I think it’s possible for a diesel vehicle running on 100% biodiesel made from waste oil to be. The problem there is that there isn’t enough of that sort of fuel to go around as long as cities keep getting designed to keep people car-dependent.
2023 top 5 vehicles sold in USA and weight:
1 - Ford F-150 4069-5697lbs
2 - Chevrolet Silverado 4400-6947lbs
3 - Ram pickup 4765-6440lbs
4 - Toyota RAV4 3370lbs
5 - Tesla Model Y 4416lbs
Looks like the only electric on the list is below the average weight. We don’t have these conversations about the trucks.
Trucks are a whole other issue into themselves, though. Not just the tire wear, but their terrible fuel economy.

7,000 lbs, fucking hell. Who needs such a massive vehicle??
Fragile egoes
Well there are contractors who need to tow heavy machinery around, so about 0.01% of the people that buy them need them.
Wow, that’s an impressive list of amateur tanks. Do they also sell real cars in the US? (Rhetorical question)
Jesus christ that is appaling. What stupid fucking vehicles.
