Ummmm NO!!! People are buying $80,000+ SUVs and trucks cause they like/want them, not because they need them… I think Mustangman said it best in your other rant about this SAME subject… > [@The US gas guzzler tax! While I was distracted learning about CAFE](https://community.cartalk.com/t/the-us-gas-guzzler-tax-while-i-was-distracted-learning-about-cafe/194065/3): > > Buyers switched to trucks and SUVs because they WANTED trucks and SUVS not because carmakers pushed them. You cannot sell something to someone who doesn’t want it! Sellers of EVs are finding that out right now. Trucks and SUVs generally have better frames and brakes and suspensions for towing… My beloved Mopar’s for the most part stopped using full frames for cars back in the 60’s… Had NOTHING to do with any kind of gas guzzler tax as they still had big blocks in cars up until the late 70’s… --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/video-these-stupid-trucks-are-literally-killing-us/193918)._
