Those monstrosities should be f*ing illegal

Well, I assume the idea is to see the children before they’re that close…

That being said, from my small vehicle I could probably tell what shoes someone is wearing from the same distance that the driver of one of these monstrosities can barely tell their hair color.

I get why trucks exist, I just don’t get why so many people drive them as their primary or only vehicle when they don’t regularly haul anything more than groceries.

EPA regulations on emissions, in relation to size, caused light trucks (and the SUVs based on them) to grow to the size you see. Ironically, the fuel efficient small pickup trucks and SUVs we grew up with in the 80s and 90s don’t meet modern standards. I die a little inside every time I see one of the Nissan trucks, like the one I totaled. ;_;

I’m holding on to my 21 year old 1st gen Colorado like my life depends on it. I’m so mad small pickups aren’t a choice nowadays…

That’s bullshit. Most of the area behind the grill is empty space. Nothing to do with EPA ( which doesn’t even exist any more).

The truck makers need to justify the ridiculous profit margins on these 60s era technology vehicles, so they just made them taller, to the point people need steps to get into them. I’m sure someone is working on an escalator.
