They need a vehicle that can accommodate and carry a 300lb human.
I have a friend who is over weight, his wife is over weight and their four teenage children are all overweight.
One of their previous vehicles was a small car and it looked like a clown show to see four of them stuff themselves into an average sized car and watch the suspension dip.
I couldn’t believe they got a newer F150 that they paid about $50,000 for … a used vehicle! It’s a great truck and they got it just to fit four of them comfortably. They parked next to my 2010 F150 and theirs looks like a transport.
And when they step into the truck, they look normal and you no longer notice how big they are because their truck is huge.
I was exaggerating about my friends weight … they aren’t 300 lbs but they are pretty close and probably average about 250lbs … although their oldest son is over 6’ and looks long and large and probably does weigh close to 300lbs
Whatever their weight … they really put a lot of stress in the car

Most smaller cars are designed for 150lbs * 5 people plus a little cargo. So around 800-1000lbs.
Four 300lb people = 1,200lbs. The suspension on that little car was fucked.
The F150 is rated between 1800-2300lbs depending on the model. They can even squeeze in a 5th person into that setup.
