This I've heard several times recently but it's not really true. The current 4-door Bronco is larger in every direction and 900 pounds heavier than a 1976 Ramcharger, which we used to think of as a benchmark for way-too-big cars. The best-selling car from 1976 weighed 3700 pounds, only 3-5% more than the best-selling Toyota Camry of 2022. The 1976 Ford F-100 (the best-selling truck of that year) base weight is the same as a 2023 Ford F-150 base, at 4000 pounds.
