the trend of 6-foot grilles that create massive blind spots and pull people under to be crushed when they are hit is 100 percent a marketing gimmick

hundreds of conservatives here doing their best to demonstrate that yes, huge trucks are about postmodern culture war signaling and unsubtle Freudian neurosis

a light truck can be a useful tool, and I have owned one myself. making the grille 6 feet high so you can't see if you are running over your kid does not make it more useful. it does the opposite

not entirely true: they're also designed to intimidate and kill drivers of normal-sized vehicles

I used to work in construction so I've owned a few trucks and they just keep getting dumber and dumber. All I want is something with an 8 foot bed that doesn't look like a chromed out tank

right exactly -- a truck is a useful tool, many need them for work and such! but you shouldn't need a grappling hook to get in the damn thing. when I was in college I had a bitty 4-cylinder Toyota pickup with a full-size bed and you couldn't get something twice that size today

I almost got killed by one of these while driving my girlfriends VW bug a few months ago. Swerving past the front grill of that thing and knowing that the driver couldnt even see it was oke of the most terrifying moments of my life
