          You know, eventually you’ll need to learn how to use a search provider on your own.

          Watch it. The only reason your comment didn’t get removed is that @Jiral found your link useful.

          Ah, ad hominem. Always nice.

          Your quote does not answer my question, but the source you linked to actually did.

          Average vehicle weight by year

          2014: 4060 pounds

          2024: 4419 pounds

      Another issue is that more people are buying “light duty” vehicles…

          And it’s probably worse than that graph seems to show… Since people are moving to a larger vehicle class mostly due to marketing rather than use case…
