When I mentioned 7,000lb trucks, I was talking about modern everyday commuter vehicles. (although most don't leave the factory with the bumper height I mentioned, a lot of fools have lift kits installed at the dealer before they drive it home) The one good thing about semi tractors is they have large flat bumpers that extend fairly low to the ground, unlike the F350 / Hummer / Excursion CadillacEscalatingArmsRace types. Even the "minivans" are turning into battering rams. I think the 2002-2005 Kia Sedona takes the prize at nearly 5,000lb, beating the 1972 Olds 98 my brother once owned by a clear margin. Mitch.
