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.

Legallize is its own language and people make a career writing in loopholes and preserving profits. Public safety and global stability be damned.
