I hate the lack of field of view in modern trucks
So does everyone else in the road.
Seriously, ever since I drove alongside one of the new 2024 GMC Sierra Denali trucks and realized its hood was as tall as my entire car, I've been utterly terrified of being anywhere near them. You probably can't see anything less than 10-15 feet in front of you, which is absolutely bonkers for a noncommercial vehicle. To say nothing of how getting hit by one is going to be like getting smacked directly in the face like a brick wall, because there's no way you'll be knocked up onto the roof to dissipate the force of the impact.
Car companies have absolutely lost the plot with this whole arms race of BIGGER BOXIER TALLER MANLIER trucks ever since Ford got made fun of around 2000 or so for making a car that was too "feminine" because it dared to have a more rounded exterior. The next generation refresh made it bigger and boxier, slapped a 12" Ford badge that was 2-3x the size of the badge on the previous generation, and it's been all downhill ever since.
I just wish modern pickups were built for hauling rather than towing. Nobody is hauling anything in a bed that sits at shoulder height!!
it's not just light trucks
They kind of have to do that.
Safety rules frown upon vehicles that crush everyone inside in an accident, so a modern vehicle's roof is required to be able to support the entire weight of the vehicle. If it's a big vehicle, that means very chunky pillars.
I get the pillars. They also have curtain airbags, electrical lines etc. Most newer vehicles will have that.
I mean the engine and hood itself. So square and chunky that you can hardly see the road, and that's without lift kits or anything
