I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how grille height is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality.

In europe there are categories. For example category B is where regular vehicles up to 3.5t (at full capacity) are. They also have quite strict pedestrian safety regulations. Due to weight and pedestrian safety american trucks don't actually fit in this category and require an additional category C license. Being in category C opens you up (depending on the country) to additional road taxes, road usage limitations and even might not allow you to enter certain areas.

Weight has nothing to do with it. You didn't actually answer the question.

I haven't heard of a limitation on hood/grill height. I've never gone looking, though.
