    I drive a normal sized pickup and almost every day I come out of work I have that freakout moment where I think my car has been stolen because it is 100% completely hidden behind one of these kid killers some other person keeps parking next to my pickup.

    Trucks don’t need to be that big. Half of them have extended cabs and shortened beds, which kind of kills the point of having a pickup truck. The full bed for hauling shit is the whole point.

    Also, why would you condemn yourself to the pain of parking one of those wherever you go?

    Also, they kill children.

      Half of them have extended cabs and shortened beds,

      Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s literally all of them at this point. Aside maybe from fleet sales and other special cases like that, I don’t think there are any pickup truck models in the US that are actually available with a regular cab anymore.

      (The Slate truck is supposedly going to be regular cab, but it doesn’t count because it’s not out yet.)
