      Look here bud, that’s not much of an insult. Seeing as how anyone can be a potential child murderer. Just as easily anyone can be a potential billionare, just as anyone could be a potential athlete or potential homeless person. Every one has potential to be what ever the fuck they want.

        Wtf are you talking about? Lol. Buying a child killing machine is a conscious choice that also costs that person double or more on the purchase price, gasoline, tires, oil and other maintenance. You have to overlook all of that and still say, I don’t care that there’s no way I would see a child right in front of my truck. I’m still going to make a terrible financial decision because I’ll be more protected and more likely to kill someone else. I got mine!

        Look here bud, that’s not much of an insult.

        Jesus fucking Christ man. Take a look at yourself. You don’t think being called a child murderer is much of an insult. Fucking wow

          Nah, all you priks and your shit attitudes regarding pickup trucks is pissing me off. So instead of huffin and puffin, I’ll just get me a new truck. Because I can. Yall act like every pick up driver is 100% guaranteed to kill your kids/dogs/grandma’s the moment they leave the lot. Yall act like pick ups are these thirsty fuel guzzlers. Funny my loaded 2011 3500 cummins gets better fuel economy than my 2023 highlander with a 4cylinder. And I don’t even have to pay premium in the cummins. What else. O my truck insurance is $250 dollars less than toyota. And guess what quotes for new trucks are 150$ less… tires? Tire cost less because I can put on a set of LT rated tires they will last longer and can get better deals on them. My trucks have needed so little maintenance over the years that when I took the new car i was Hella unprepared for that headache.

              Good read, regardless, fuck you with the best intentions. The left turn part is bullshit. Yes, the pillar is thick. But fuck man is the drivers neck broken? Like lean forward and/ lean left. A blind spot isn’t just over your shoulder. It wherever you don’t have a visual. Move your damn head, eliminate the blind spot. As for the truck hoods part. They say it’s to look meaner. No, that’s the job of the bumper, grill, and headlights. It is practical, if anything. Each model from 1/2 ton, 3/4ton, and 1 ton size have different engine and drivetrain configurations. Okay, with a cylinder turbo gas engine there is lots of empty space. But what about a big inline 6 diesel or even a Ford V8 powerstroke diesel? Now add room for a front axle for 4wd, and a 8spd 10spd transmission behind it for tighter EPA regs. What happened in 2007? Mandatory diesel particulate filters and regen systems and exhaust gas coolers had to be put in. Gota make room for that. Then, in 2009 , the DEF became mandatory. gota make room for all that as well. Look under the hood of a cummins dodge or even worse yet, ford power stroke. There is absolutely no space under the hood for anything. It’s jam-packed all the way to the top.

              A simple solution would be a front camera that are on from stop to 50kmph amd you know not being a lazy fucking meat bag and moving your head around a few inches forward and to the left.

              Side note everyone likes say “just buy a van for work” but vans have just as high of a hood
