And folks say they wouldn’t sell if someone made a HD suv again….
If HD SUVs were selling well before, the manufacturers never would have discontinued them.
Don't give me this baloney about EPA or whatever... They would have found a way to make it work if there was enough money involved.
I agree with you. 15 years ago. And I believe the newer crew cab pickup market played a hand in it too.
And about emissions standards. Heck give ‘em a 11k gvwr and kick them into the next category.
Now they’re all used up. The few nice ones left are disappearing quickly.
And big SUVs are as popular today as they ever were. I still think at least one of the big 3 could clean up for a few years making a 3/4-1ton long wheelbase suv again. Big gasser and a big diesel option.
For me? Nope. But they’d sell like hotcakes in UT, ID and AZ at a minimum!
No one with more than 3 kids can buy a new rig capable of pulling a big trailer for over a decade now.
