Why American cars and trucks are actually thus significant

.AMERICANS LOVE to super-size-- as well as not merely their fast food. They favour massive sport-utility lorries (Sport utility vehicles) and also pickup trucks over small automobiles. Some 8.7 m hit the trail in 2023, making up majority of all sales of new motor vehicles, depending on to JATO Characteristics, an analysis firm.
