You are looking at it the wrong way. Driving something so large that it would require a commercial license to transport your family around is ridiculous

Minivans and station wagons are just as good as a Tahoe for transporting a family.

My parents raised my brother and I in the back of a 92 Oldsmobile Cutlass. You don't need a vehicle where the hood is 48" off the ground to be comfortable.

You could buy a minivan. The Toyota Sienna has more room for people and when you fold the seats down it has similar payload capacity to most of the trucks I’ve seen.

The problematic designs are primarily post-2009, as this fine article points out. Families had no issue finding transportation in 2008 or prior.

A 47” high hood line does not provide any utility to transporting children. Children are not stored under the hood.

Dutch grandmas can transport 3 kids to school on a cargo bike but young parents in the US need a 4-ton lifted truck? Odd.

My god, you wouldn't want to ever be (shudder) ... uncomfortable!

What's more comfortable about SUV or a truck than a minivan or combi?

How is a tall hood increasing your family comfort? It only increases your ego.
