More than 1 in 4 car shoppers in Texas and Wyoming have committed to paying more than $1,000 a month, and experts say it is due to the high volume of large truck purchases in those states, according to a report by auto site Edmunds.
More than 1 in 5 shoppers in seven other states — Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and Utah — are also forking over more than $1,000 for their vehicles each month.

Large trucks in this instance are things like 18-wheelers, not trucks like the Ford F-150 or Dodge Ram.

👌👍 let me know when you find that recent data. This is the often stated report for decades due to the lack of research. I’m quite confident you won’t find contradictory data in modern study, but if you do I’m 100% open to it.
What I find particularly funny is you just assume the slight increase in mass is going to make a larger impact than backup cameras front bumper cameras, and pedestrian avoidance systems (typically the most cited as dengerous due to blind spots) in addition to modern driving aids and a lower center of gravity from that generation…
It’s quite an assumption.
