A 230- to 255-hp big-block Chevy Silverado 454 SS cost about $40k adjusted for inflation, at 194" long x 77" wide x 70" high. That was a big truck 30 years ago.

Why in the hell is a 2022 Silverado 20 inches longer, 4 inches wider, and 5 inches taller? What purpose does that serve? Especially being wider of all dimensions? It has a 2L-smaller engine but somehow weighs 200 lbs. more?
- red-iron-pine 4y agoPart of the increase in the size of trucks is that people want big vehicles... for reasons... but part of it is just safety. Crumple zones, force deflecting shunts, and attempts to lower the weight / improve gas mileage lead to lots of foam and plastic -- which makes it look larger.
