The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.

Don’t worry, we’ll just get even larger trucks that nobody actually wants to bypass these standards.
People buy trucks for towing and hauling, and bigger is better and safer for towing.
The real problem is every other type of vehicle has become so useless and disposable (shittily made) to meet fuel economy standards that you can’t tow anything with them and are forced to buy a raging-mega-huge truck to get a high enough GCWR/GVWR and big enough motor to safely and reliably haul stuff.
