Emotional support truck, blocking the sidewalk, sticking out into the road and with an empty driveway infront of it.

I know this is !fuckcars@lemmy.world but I really hate driving these modern trucks. The hood is too high, the windshield is too narrow, and the height is too high. You really can't tell how close something. It's really dangerous.

On top of all that the assholes that drives these things have the brightest lights in the world. That shouldn't be allowed in the city.

Absolutely. Had to drive pickups at work and was constantly competing to get the old, beat up, smaller truck because it was just so much more practical to load and unload.

The target market here is so sensitive about their masculinity that they’ve actually sabotaged the practical use of these vehicles.

Man I have one of these as I tow a 16k lb trailer weekly and I fucking hate the thing. I wish I could get a Isuzu two door cab over with the same specs. Even though the Isuzu isn’t small it’s the smallest thing I could see getting where you can see shit. Also it cost just at as much as one of these support vehicles but without a bed. 😥
