Can we reach the natural endpoint of American car design?

Mechanical

American cars are all technically trucks, way bigger than they need to be, and capable of turning the average car from any other nation into a fine powder.

But can we go further?

How much further can we take these trends until we design the ultimate American vehicle? The heaviest, largest, technically a truck, and most dangerous in a crash possible? Or in other words, what is the worst possible truck we could make? Can you design the peak of American engineering?

Restrictions
1.) it has to be road legal in the majority of roads and legal on highways without special permits. You can’t just build a semi truck. It’s totally allowed to barely be legal, but it has to be legal.
2.) get an absolute minimum needs to be able to go a max speed of 100 mph.
3.) American car culture revolves around the evolutionary process where big cars destroyed tiny cars and crashes, causing big cars to proliferate. Therefore your vehicle must be capable of defeating the Ford F150 in a car crash, as the Ford F150 is the top predator of the American ecosystem.
4.) have fun and don’t take the super seriously.
