Vehicles are getting way too heavy to be safe.

    Totally agree, but to act like it’s only trucks pushing this weight is silly. The electric leaf is nearly 5k lbs and it’s a very small EV.

        3500-3900 depends on what you get for options. Add in people and their shit and you’re pushing 5k (curb weight is 4,900bs)

          You keep misusing the term curb weight.

          From teh googs: Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include the weight of any passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.

      There’s a big difference between pushing the limit and significantly exceeding the limit though.

      One gets you across the bridge. One gets you a nice dip in the river.
