The trend of increasing vehicle sizes in the U.S. continues despite evidence from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety indicating that vehicles over 4,000 pounds provide no significant safety benefit. Advances in vehicle safety technology like automatic emergency braking have improved the survivability of occupants in smaller cars during crashes. Heavier vehicles pose increased risks to others on the road, particularly pedestrians, highlighting the need for a reevaluation of the trend towards larger, heavier vehicles without safety justification.
But you can keep increasing risk to other people as you add more weight onto your vehicle.
When [a car] gets above that average weight of the overall fleet, you're basically already as safe as you're going to be from raw weight alone.
