We've known this for so long, how is it so difficult to just set a maximum height commuter vehicles?

Because the United States EPA designed fuel efficiency regulations in a fucked-up way that incentivizes manufacturers to produce larger and larger trucks.

    Generally speaking, true. But specifically hood height and forward visibility is purely aesthetics. They are marketing "tough" as that big grill, and they want that "chopped" look where the windows are very short relative to the rest of the body.
