Most TPs are the same size as hardcovers and usually use a better grade of paper to appear as "near-hardcover" quality instead of pricey paperback. Easier to justify the higher price, they think.
That said, there isn't a standard hardcover or trade paperback size in the US and books aren't marketted by size, just by class.
