I have a F150 I use as a farm truck, and an old samurai. (The little 4x4, not the feudal warrior) The samurai is lifted and has larger tires on it, and the hood is still still only about waist-high. Much lower than the F150's hood which is almost chest high. (Im 6ft tall, that's ~183cm)

The F150 is honestly not very useful for hauling, because the sides of the bed are armpit high. Heavy things must be lifted a few feet to get up on the tailgate when its open. Most of the time anymore I use the samurai to pick up things like animal feed or fertilizer or other heavy bags of stuff, because it won't get stuck in the yard like the truck will, and its just more fun to drive, all 65 horsepower of it.

Except they're not. Here in the UK semi-trucks run at 97,000lb and we're also moving to SUVs and Ford Trucks like Raptor are also starting to make yet pedestrian casualty rates aren't going up.

Whoever wrote this headline has a poor grasp on both mathematics and the English language.

The best way to kill a person and get away with it in the US is to hit that person with a SUV when they are walking. A jury of lifted truck owners will return a not-guilty verdict. Even better if the target is on a bicycle, you’ll get a pat on the back by the judge.

Not being able to see someone walking in front of you is a god given right.

I wanna vomit especially when I see carolina squatted pick up trucks or really any pick up truck that isn't actually used for their original purpose.
