Both hilarious and infuriating.

This is posted in metric so it doesn't apply to the U.S.

And it doesn't even properly show how long and wide those vehicles are.

Truck and SUV size has gotten absolutely ridiculous.

They barely fit in parking spaces. Usually you see the ass of them sticking out.

They should make a version of the chart with model years included. I need a truck for work, but I'll be looking for a 90's or older next because the new ones are all too tall with no real utility benefit.
