Yeah I cannot have freaking dark window tint IN THE DESERT but jackasses can drive around with trucks lifted all the way up. It’s cause the cops buddies drive those kinds of trucks. That is why people get pulled over for normal racish mods.

It’s no wonder people are abandoning car platforms. How is a car going to survive against THAT in an accident??!! You need to make a tank to survive a tank! (Note, tanks have shitty visibility, and are a danger to anything around them that are smaller than they are.)

Yep, anyone with a regular-height vehicle is well-acquainted with having the shit blinded out of them due to modern trucks’ sky-high headlight height.

My whole gripe is that the S3 Elise is “illegal” because it doesn’t meet “safety standards”, but the damn Silverado is allowed to go around murdering pedestrians all willy-nilly.

At least in NY, the tinted window rule doesn’t apply to trucks and SUV’s. It’s pretty stupid, isn’t it?

I don’t think you should require a CDL for an RV (hence, commercial), but I do agree there needs to be a level of training and license designation. There are a lot of regulations that come along with a CDL that go far behind just the “safe operation around other traffic” that simply aren’t applicable to Steve and Barb…

Come to my town! We have numerous lifted Ford F250's with limo-tinted front windows, smoke stacks spewing out diesel, and f*cking red LED headlights, and the cops don’t seem to give a shit.

Speaking of huge blind spots, the thing I find especially egregious is the new trucks are being designed to have huge front blind spots in the name of looking “tough”. I think the GM products are the worst about this as seen above.

i bet the busses hood sight lines are better/lower than that silverado!

I’m taller than the average American man and I straight up can’t imagine how you’re supposed to load anything heavy into a modern F150/Chevy/Dodge 1500.

Even something like putting a dirtbike into the bed, is having a ramp at a 45* angle really ideal? 

Honestly it’s not the truck bed length that’s usually the issue it’s the height of the sides and even the tailgate. You have to be legit tall and strong for some things. 

I always have a shovel in the back, among other things. I like to be able to get it without climbing into the bed. I can do this on my 90 F150, can’t even reach the bed floor on my 2017. So basically the new truck is just executive transport. If I’m doing dirty work I’m always in the old standby. Yes, they are too…

If airplanes are so safe, then how did the virus get to this continent?
