I think you're confused, I am not talking transports. I'm talking large "passenger" trucks (F150, RAM, Yukon, Etc). Most people driving these vehicles don't need them and even more people can't safely drive them either.
Cars, Vans, Light SUV are a all crash comparable meaning the bumpers should be at at a min/max height so if you get into an accident all of the crumple zones will do their jobs. Trucks don't need to follow these regulations.
Because bad regulations around "light trucks" and manufacturers didn't have to follow stricter emissions either, unlike passenger vehicles.
Oh, I get you.
Sorry, I’m not American, so I’ve never heard people call them that.
Where I live, ‘truck’ is exclusively used for the vehicles used with logistics or heavy machinery.
Totally understand what you mean now, and yeah fuck those guys lol.
