You just listed 3 choices, which range in size, weight and likelyhood of killing pedestrians. I.e. a minivan fits more people, but is smaller than some of the massive trucks I see driving around.

I knew a family growing up that had six kids, so 8 person household, they had a minivan (Toyota Tarago).

A modern SUV would likely be a) heavier b) have worse blind spots, and c) has a higher front bumper, so worse impact if you hit a pedestrian.

The "I didn't have a choice" argument is almost always a logical fallacy.
