Here’s an article about it. Thanks for making me look it up, it has an important little fact at the top, which is the pickups have trended steadily upward over that same period which I didn’t know. However, other vehicle types have trended steadily downwards, and are still below their previous figures.

Thanks for that. Drawing a line between cars and SUVs helped clarify average vehicle weight as the sum of two different trends.

Because they’ve gotten physically bigger?

  That’s my thought. The dimensions are bigger and almost all of them are extended cab or at least third door.
