The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.

I can’t stand those idiot trucks that have a chopped-in-half rear bed so they can cram in an undersized back seat.

A truck is for moving shit. If you can’t fit a sheet of plywood in the back of your truck, your truck is a candy ass piece of crap powered by 100% small dick energy.

I’ve seen trucks with 8’ beds and big crew cabs. They’re like 30 feet long, though

No issue with those. I’m talking about the pretend trucks.

Which pollutes more: a new SUV or a 10-year-old conventional vehicle?
