This bullshit is because they want these pickups to be “multi purpose”
Its now a family vehicle! Take your kids to school and go straight to work after!
Safer in crash tests since you decimate sedans!
Go to BJs or Costco and load up on all the toilet paper you want!!
See even farther down the road with higher and brighter headlights! Sedans will let you pass when you blind them with these touchlights!
A little of this. A lot more of, truck manufacturers are now either uninterested or incapable of making vehicles that exist inside of legal emissions restrictions, so they blow up the wheelbase to class it up to SUV class. The bigger the vehicle the less restrictive emissions laws are.
The growth of truck/SUV size is largely due to EPA regulations with a “footprint” clause that allows larger vehicles to have less strict efficiency requirements. Kind of counterintuitive, really

Good read. Thanks. Nice to see the EPA is trying bit corporate lobbying is the constant battle.
Legallize is its own language and people make a career writing in loopholes and preserving profits. Public safety and global stability be damned.

Oh it’s 100% them cheating emissions
They’re justifying the extras and upping the price
