@fj You can’t even get a capable small truck in the US anymore. Tacomas are as big as Tundras used to be. It’s ridiculous. The hoods are so tall they suck for off-roading visibility. You lose the trail in front of you going uphill.
@killionaire @fj yep stupid government tied emissions requirements to foot print size and shits been getting bigger ever since.
@Rin3d @killionaire @fj No small trucks in the US because of a 60 year old law.
