There's diagrams that show the visual impairments such trucks have. They are worse than semi trucks and even an Abrams tank.
- I don't get how these people even feel comfortable driving something where you can't see the road that's in front of you for 10+ meters out. I just wouldn't feel safe, there could be any kind of obstruction you can't see on the road from 10m away but will still fuck up your day and/or life.
  
  As a truck driver I get it. It's nice to see more. The tradeoff isn't worth it and not why they do it. I would bet my paycheck they never take it off road either. Which would be the only good reason to raise something that much. Truckers have a good reason to. They have giant engine and transmissions that need to last for the industrial work involved.
  
  They don't look or care. Their car is big enough that they'll plough right through a bunch of kids before they even notice they're on the sidewalk.
  
  It’s simple uneducated hubris. Nothing bad could ever happen to them because they are a Good American.
  
  If they thought about things and came to good conclusions afterwards, they probably wouldn't be driving this kind of car to begin with. The people who are driving it are probably not good thinkers.
  
  Agreed, but some people drive that way. It's their road, get out of the way. I had a 1996 Dodge dually long ago for pulling a trailer, and its visibility wasn't very bad, except for around the damn side columns. I got into the habit of leaning forward and back as I would turn so that I had some idea of what was being blocked. At one point we had considered upgrading to the big trucks like the F-450/F550, and I got into one to see what it was like. I could see EVERYTHING. I was like, holy shit, this is luxury.
  
  Looking at those dumbfucks driving their emotional support vehicle in the city, they don't seem to be comfortable
  They are driving slow and can't stay in their lane, as they can't judge the distances correctly
  
  They don’t care, as long as they get to drive their behemoth and feel powerful.
  
  I have a Chevy 2500 to tow my RV (needed for the weight and it’s my home) and I hate not being able to see shit. I would gladly replace it with a cab over if they brought them to the states. The truck only gets used to move the RV from site to site and I have small single cylinder motorcycles to get around because fuck parking that thing anywhere.
  
  That would require rational thought
- If that's supposed to be understood by Americans, they probably should have put the units in football field-school busses.
  
  Length is measured in hotdogs, width is measured in hamburgers
- Above a certain height, trucks should be mandated to have the engine behind, like eurotrucks.

For the civilised counties that's 1.75 meters.
- Whaaaaat? That’s my height!!! That tank is what? 2 meters? And you tell me that’s a civil car? Like everyone can drive it? Don’t need to go to the army? 😳😳😳

My redneck ranch family has run over so. Many. Of their own dogs
- WTF
  
  The Onion having to change their repetitious article title from “Nation” to “Family”…

How else are the owners supposed to compensate for their 2cm dicks?
- The insidious thing about the small dick energy is that it isn't about the efficacy of the unit. They don't care that they "can't" provide pleasure (which, let's just not dig into that for arguments sake, but I would contend the existence of lesbian sex sort of contradicts the whole correlation of dick mass to pleasure output, let alone the whole can of worms that is all the other miriad of genital and gender configurations). They view sex as transactional, performative, superficial, and perhaps even competative. It's all about them. Even if they had a supreme dick, they couldn't weild it. They're stunted, and frightened. They don't understand even basic communication, which I would argue that sex is at it's core, just a type of communication. That kid in class that mocks the topic because they don't understand it and that frightens them? So they try to tear it down and belittle the topic? Those are the kids that grow up to drive these trucks, and evidently run nations.

  I'm proud to be a filthy casual sex enjoyer
  
  I might print this comment on sticker paper for reasons.
- Use their fingers?
- Cunnilingus?

Should require a CDL to drive something that big. It's a bus sized front end.
- most of the buses in the next town over from me are f-350 and e-350s, so quite literally yes
  
  Busses that size often don't require CDLs, definitely don't require a CDL B. A true bus is much, much bigger than a 350 (source, I drive a bus). An E350 has a GVWR of around 4-5 tons. I drive busses with GVWRs of 16-27 tons. (Their visibility is much, much better than this because the engine is in the back like basically all full busses)
- And transit busses have a flat front end and a large wind shield.

Yank tanks are multiplying on this side of the Pacific now too. I’m 6’3” and feel like a little toddler next to one. Just as easy to run over, no doubt.
- I got ran over by a car while on my bike at a roundabout bike & pedestrian crossing: I'm so glad it was a normal sized Opel instead of a tank. Only got a bruise on my butt and even my bike just needed the front wheel realigned. If it was a F-whatever monstrosity I would've been hurt much, much worse.
  Personal vehicles in cities should be limited anyways and public transportation/pedestrian & biking paths encouraged. I hate the dust rising from stud tires grinding asphalt.

  I think the majority of streets don't need to be thoroughfares for cars. We could block and barricade most streets so that bicycles and pedestrians can pass through but cars can only get in and out by a single route. Anyone who isn't visiting a home or business in that neighborhood just wouldn't turn off of the main road. Rat running, the use of parallel side streets to avoid traffic and police speed enforcement also causes a lot of problems. #FuckCars #Urbanism

Who ever wrote that meme text has definitively been huffing too much exhaust.
- i swear it used to be 5’10”….
  but, i have been feeling taller lately…
  
  I’m 190cm and was never tall but I’m a giant among my little brother’s friends (adults)

How else are they going to advertise their tiny cocks without public indecency charges?
- Yeah, if they took a picture of them the police would arrest them for CP.

I agree but I think that car hoods should be higher. If you're hit by one of these you'll die slowly of organ pulverization. It'd be better to be hit in the head and die quickly of head pulverization. It's just that the poor truck cannot reach that high so it needs to be BIGGER. Maybe stick some spikes on there too, and have an optional extended package for saw blades!

  Electric cars are even more fucked. The reason cars have the front sitting so far forward of the driver is so a combustion engine can get cooled by a radiator. Electric cars don't need that. The driver should be at the front where they can see everything and the rest of the car should be behind them. Combustion engines shouldn't be in cars. They should be allowed in emergency generators and emergency vehicles only. #FuckCars
  
  Crumple zone?
  
  What on earth are you saying? Electric motors and batteries absolutely need active cooling. And their interiors.

I can't reconcile the exterior with interior pictures. From the outside it looks like the inside of that truck should be the size of a large sitting room with a Chesterfield and some end tables.
- Gotta cram the plastic shit and uselss tech in there somewhere.
  
  Cupholders! Gotta have more cupholders.

Be the change ...

Add in the amount of times I've seen people drive cars where their seat height puts their eyes at about 2 inches over the steering wheel.
- I've known a few truck drivers like that, with the air seat almost as low as it can go. The only thing they'd even be capable of seeing is an air strike.

The headlights are at exactly the height to blind everyone who isn't also in a truck as well. I'm convinced that auto manufacturers do this on purpose to force everyone into a size arms race.
- Big vehicles lile trucks in America have lower emissions requirements, which makes them cheaper to make and they can sell them for a higher profit to these insecure dumb fucks, so it's in their interest to make and sell large trucks
- This was an aftermarket raise, so not really the responsibility of the manufacturer in this specific case
  
  Yeah it should be on the state for letting this thing pass basic safety inspection.
  Shit like this shouldn't be street legal.
  Perfect case in point....this truck is parked on the street. If that spot is the last spot before a parking lot entrance, there is no way for people turning out of that parking lot to see if it's clear or not. It's a hail-mary every fucking time. There was one of these parked in such a spot outside my kids daycare every single day last year.
  
  And if they were to file a police report because they were mysteriously smashed, they'd get in trouble for illegal modification, yes?
- I lived on the ground floor, and the idea of smashing headlights of some vehicles came to me many times.

Disgusting cars, honestly.

That’s a weird looking tank

Pretty sure it is, here.
Btw, what model is it?
- It's a Ford Super Duty 🤮
  
  Aww man they need to get their numbers up in the competition of which trucks are involved in the most DUIs

- They raised it aftermarket
- Between what?
  
  ?

I just want my slightly smaller than a Tacoma sized truck with a small diesel that gets like 28 mpg. Is that really too much to ask?
- I want one of those old 90s Toyota trucks so bad, I wish they still made them. Like that little black truck in back to the future.
  
  That truck was from 1985, but I know what you mean. That truck was awesome!
  At least the Ford Maverick is something that exists. I know it’s based on an Escape platform, but that’s fine for most uses of trucks that size.
- VW Amarok is a tiny bit smaller than a Tacoma and comes with a diesel. Gets more like 35+ mpg though, hope that's alright?
  The Isuzu D-Max is a bit smaller than the Amarok and only comes with small diesels. And one slightly bigger diesel.
  Sadly I think those don't get sold in your country because you're probably in the US given you mentioned the Tacoma rather than the Hilux, which is also a tiny bit smaller than a Tacoma and has diesel options.
  Due to the chicken tax, importing light duty trucks into the US is prohibitively expensive. Building them in the US makes little sense for smaller models, as those don't sell as well as their bigger counterparts. Hence, no small trucks in the US :(
- There’s a little baby Tacoma in my garage and I want it so bad! My favorite truck.

Neat? Idk, I’m newish
- Yeah I’m just here to fuck cars idk

How much fuel does it burn in comparison to normal European car?
- Yes
  
  And then some

Only in America
- Canada says hi

What if it were electric?
- Then it would be completely and utterly moronic but also electric
  
  Lol i think it’s context specific, but you do you
- that would change nothing about pedestrian safety, or the near total lack thereof
- Electric trucks should be tiny
  
  I don't think electric trucks have to be tiny. Just as long as they don't inconvenience others with their choices, I'm good with it.

Hey now, I'm 5'9" and a lady, but do you not care that women are on average 5'5" or whatever? Why scale it to men? Scale it to the average person, not the average man.
Ideally you should be able to see all the way down to the road. That is the reason I love the back up camera. It shows me ground level, mirror and looking back show me the human level view.
- Don't get offended for the sake of getting offended, jfc .
  Would it be better if he used a banana for scale, because that's all he's doing. He's showing how large the truck is compared to him, an average height American human male.
  Wtf do you want, him to say he's four inches taller than the average American woman and this truck should be illegal?
  It should, btw. Pavement princesses in particular...there's no logical reason for this to exist. Contractors in the entire rest of the world get by just fine with trucks that could fit in the cab of this monstrosity.
  I remember driving from Houston to Dallas last year and seeing countless pavement princesses along the way. All unscathed and unloaded.
  I saw one pickup truck with a trailer attached and it was a fucking Rivian.
- OP is so sexist for not being exactly the average human height!
  I think your brain has rotted. Use some common sense to think why the dude that is average male height mentioned average male height for a visual comparison.
- You're the person everone rolls their eyes at
