Trucks and sport utility vehicles with hood heights greater than 40 inches are about 45% more likely to cause fatalities in pedestrian crashes than shorter vehicles with sloped hoods, according to new research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Interesting rabbit hole.
Looks like in Europe you can't tow that much with a car. Anything over 3500kg (7700lb) you need a proper truck and a trucker's © license.
A Silverado 3500 at 7000lb is really close to needing a truck drivers license, even without a trailer.
