.AMERICANS really love to super-size-- and also not merely their junk food. They favour huge sport-utility cars (Sport utility vehicles) and also pickup trucks over small vehicles. Some 8.7 m hit the trail in 2023, making up over half of all sales of brand-new vehicles, depending on to JATO Mechanics, a research company. Although International automobiles are actually also growing, American ones still have a pleasant top: in 2022 the normal cars and truck marketed in The United States weighed 1,857 kilograms, almost 20% more than the average in Europe.
