What an odd comparison. Heavy duty trucks with dual rear axles absolutely existed in the 90s. Not sure why you chose a random mid size SUV.

Why not compare with the GMC sierra 2500 of whatever year?

Because "pavement princess" massive trucks driving around cities become much more common recently.

Which has resulted in trucks become more useless as actual trucks, since they've evolved into SUVs with a tiny bed you can't fit a sheet of plywood into.
