Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Actually...your info may be false.

Average vehicle width in the US increased from 73.4 inches in 2003 to 77.1 inches in 2023.

Ford Explorer: The 2005 model had front/rear track widths of 60.9/61.3 inches while the 2025 model has 66.9 inches for both front and rear track width. An increase of about 6 inches front and 5.6 inches rear.

Chevrolet Tahoe: Overall vehicle width increased from 78.9 inches in 2005 to 81.0 inches in 2025 which suggests track width along with it, although not spending more time searching specs.
