Why have American trucks gotten so huge recently? I’ve heard something about the laws changing but why would the laws require them to be larger?

Look at tax and safety laws. If a 4000+Lb vehicle is more profitable than a smaller one due to utility category taxes, then expect more big ones. The safety laws applied to econo-boxes are different than on SUVs (another taxable vehicle category) so you get things designed to fit those. Ditto MPG and emission laws.
