I got a lot of push-back on a comment I made here about how bigger trucks/suvs are the primary cause the increasing pedestrian death-rate in America so apparently more people need to see this video.

Presumably by "small trucks" you mean ones that are restricted by the same regulations as cars are. Even if we had very good infrastructure, large trucks would still be less safe than ones with safe bumpers and clearances and less mass. I don't think someone can say one way or the other that large trucks would not still be a problem. So it's perfectly reasonable for people to be concerned about large trucks, both in the fantasy world that you'd like this discussion to be taking place in, and here in the real world.
