3) Most of the ‘state imposed’ safety requirements have proven to be effective. Crumple zones, 3 point safety belts, head restraints, ABS and stability control have all either served to reduce collisions or traffic fatalities. Thus again reducing societal costs. And history has proven that left on their own, that many (if not most) auto manufacturers would not have made these features standard equipment.

Again requiring these features is a utilitarian necessity/benefit.

The most amazing thing about the modern truck is how un-truck-like its road manners have become even while overall capability has gone through the roof (as well as size, because this thing is massive) and the GMC is no exception. The ride is stable and quiet and prodigiously powered—a voracious consumer of highway commuting miles, even, I was assured, with a 6,000-pound trailer hitched to the back.
