MODERATORS
Oh, look:
Pedestrian deaths have also skyrocketed over a similar time period. Up by 70% from 2010 to 2023.
Where is this from? Curious if there's one where it's adjusted for the vehicle type distribution, unless this one is?
How are they breaking out car SUVs vs truck SUVs?
I think it's compact SUVs.
I guess my question is more about what constitutes a "truck suv". There is no way that SUV built on a truck frame out number SUVs built on car unibody frames by that much.
Many SUVs are built/classified as light trucks so businesses can get a tax break on a work vehicle, and so the emissions standards are easier to meet

There's some discussion of that point later in the article, i believe.
