    Bumper height needs to be standardized so they match up properly. One of the biggest safety issues is how modern SUV bumpers don’t align with cars bumper bars.

      Maybe this is the point, but that might cause SUVs to be prohibitively unsafe, because their center of momentum would be so high relative to impact height. For example, if an SUV with one of these low bumpers hit a barrier, it would probably perform a front flip over it 😂

      My Sequoia is like 2.5x the size of my Honda fit. If I ever hit my Honda while pulling into the driveway I’ll total it.

      I fully agree with your statement.

        Do you like your Sequoia? I have been thinking about trading in my Explorer for one. Or an Expedition.

        Know this is a hate thread about SUV’s, but those of us with large families don’t have any other options.
