npub1vy968eaj4yah83zw9rzjkprm64pprlzy0ft9p7tn3jt4zvpwa74qeh7wtc (npub1vy9…7wtc) Yeah, I know the EPA's allowable emissions limits work on a tiered basis... Not sure how it is nowadays but a while back it used to be based on GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating - with less stringent emissions limits the heavier the vehicle is. And I agree with you - the continued tightening of emissions requirements year over year, combined with modern crashworthiness standards, has absolutely contributed to the embiggening of American vehicles.
It doesn't make it any less absurdly ridiculous though.
