I didn't click on Shifty's link, but assumed he was talking about federal regulations that make it much less expensive to build pick-ups and SUVs because they don't have to meet the same safety and mileage requirements. The original intent was to exempt farmers and ranchers who actually used trucks as trucks, but the regulations morphed into a way to protect Detroit from the Japanese. It's terrible public policy.
