The Reason Why Are Trucks Getting Bigger

The regulations where written by auto execs. The auto industries least profitable market got regulated out of existence just as their most profitable had regulations massively loosened and new tax relief for massive trucks seemingly every year?

Surely this is the result of inept regulators and not blatant corruption!

I don’t think Toyota lobbied to stop selling corollas. This likely was intentional from the Obama admin, my recollection is that the US government owned Chrysler and GM when they made so many rules that favored big trucks over efficient cars.

I’d be willing to bet this was an anti-competitive move. Eliminate the small, foreign vehicles in one go.
