@nytimes: SUVs and pickups dominate roads across the U.S. Many vehicles are bigger — and far deadlier — than ever before, a New York Times investigation found. Our reporter Michael Keller explains the link between a surge of pedestrian fatalities and the size of vehicles. Video by Michael H. Keller, Danielle Ivory, Irineo Cabreros, Eli Murray, Gabriel Blanco and Joey Sendaydiego #investigation
These giant trucks are so unnecessary for the vast majority of people

American vehicle sizes are incredibly childish. There is not one good reason why the vehicles should be that big

What’s the point of making a super tall truck instead of the smaller truck like we used to

THEY’RE VANITY CARS. 95% of ppl who own these big shiny trucks don’t use them for anything trucks are actually meant to be used for. and for the people who do actually need trucks, smaller/older trucks are often better at the job, more efficient, more convenient, and actually end up having LARGER beds with more space in them than these vanity trucks

Also as someone who owns a smaller truck: GIANT TRUCKS ARE SO UNNECESSARY AND OFTEN HAVE THE SAME SIZED BEDS OR SMALLER ONES

These huge trucks are genuinely absurd. My farm truck that I use almost every day is pretty big, but I've seen it dwarfed by some clean city trucks.

The culprit is vehicle size increasing due to manufacturers trying to get by with worse emissions. It's why vehicle size has steadily increased since the 2000's

In my 2020 Chevy trax that A pillar created an EGREGIOUS blind spot I didn’t know to be cognizant of until I’d already purchased the vehicle

I live in the uk and granted, we dont have many trucks here. the few ive seen that were american manufacturers are HUGE. I drive a tiny 2005 hatchback and it has tonnes of space inside, I dont get why people need such big vehicles nowadays

Honestly require a different kind of license for large vehicles, make them expensive and make them difficult to get fr

those big trucks should require a special license due to the increased blind spots and turning radius and stuff like that

Trucks always have those awful high beam led lights that blind everyone. They’re a hazard.
