I’m not just talking about pickup trucks that have gotten huge, but rather cars in general. Take a look at the 5th generation Honda Civic hatchback and compare it to the newest Honda Civic Hatchback model. Not only did the car gain approximately 1,000lbs/453Kg, but its length, height, and space drastically changed. Sure it’s a 30 year difference but even other car models from the early 2010s compared to their same models today are way bigger and heavier in just under a decade Why is this?

Car manufacturing is almost entirely riven by consumer demand. Almost every change in styling, technology, design, price, fuel economy, entertainment systems, type of seat covering, size of the steering wheel, lumens of the headlights, are all made because they are following what is selling.
Cars have gotten bigger in the last 10-15 years because bigger cars sold better. Ford stopped making cars altogether, because SUVs and Trucks sold better.
