these new trucks are huge

[50CentStan]

We have no data as these are NEW trucks. Hence why you are posting studies from when 50 cent was relevant instead of anything with data from the tricks with horrific blind spots in question in this thread

Ok so youre talking out your ass then. Again the studies show 80% of new vehicles are pickups and suvs. Your dumbass really thinks they make up 80% of pedestrian fatalities or any other accident? Stop it bozo.


Id run your smart car off the road in my jacked up f250 platinum

You drive a vehicle that’s one of the most common in fatality accidents (ford f series truck) and think it’s a safe vehicle, because you read studies from 2 decades ago. Maybe stick to stanning a washed up rapper

Top 20 Deadliest Vehicles in the United States — and Those That Kill Occupants the Most

Millions of Americans drive their cars safely each day, but the fact of the matter is that deadly accidents do occur regularly — and they happen more often in some cars than others. ValuePenguin analyzed fatal crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to find...

Most crashed vehicle in America is this clowns truck can’t make it up

 

[O.Red]

Every country I’ve been to in South America, Europe and Africa the cars are tiny. Driving monster trucks is only normal in the US

Americans in general take up a lot of space

When you're in a different country one of the ways you're spotted is by your big sweeping ass American mannerisms and movements.

United States pedestrian fatality rates by vehicle type | Injury Prevention

Almost half of all pedestrian fatalities in the United States are associated with passenger cars; about 40% are associated with light trucks, a category that includes vans, pickups, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Only 5% of pedestrian fatalities are associated with large trucks, and 2% are associated with buses.

Trucks And SUVs Are Now Over 80 Percent Of New Car Sales In The U.S.

So even with skewed stats to include pickups vans and SUVs together, cars still cause more pedestrian deaths. Again people just want to complain about bullshyt.

Posting a 20 year old stat and saying others are talking bullshyt study damn near as old as 9/11

How America’s pickups are changing​

Less bed, more cab, and a whole lot of pleasure driving.​

The Ford F-150 has been America’s bestselling car for 41 years.

Last year, an F-Series Truck was sold every 49 seconds, and pickups accounted for the top three bestselling cars nationwide.

Interestingly — despite stunts like this one, where an F-150 tows a double-decker freight train filled with 42 other F-150s — data shows a third of pickup owners rarely or never use their truck for hauling, while two-thirds rarely or never use it for towing, per Axios.

• Instead, 87% of pickup owners frequently use their truck for shopping, and 70% say they do so for pleasure driving.

To accommodate for this, today’s F-150s are 63% cab and 37% bed, a near-total opposite from early generations’ 36% cab, 64% bed design.

So what?​

Since 1990, the average mass of US vehicles has increased 25%. Pickups are already a safety concern, with twice the pedestrian strike fatality rate as smaller vehicles.

They’re getting heavier, too, as the industry electrifies them with enormous batteries. Ford’s F-150 Lightning, for instance, at ~6.5k pounds, weighs 35% more than its gasoline twin.

what they don't point out is that while its more dangerous to pedestrians, its safer for the driver of the truck for you to run over something rather than having it roll up your hood.
When people die from hitting deer in the road for example its always because the little cars clipped the deers legs and they rolled into the windshield directly into the driver.
So really its a question of whose safety you value more when driving, you own, or people you might hit. if you are more concerned about your own safety during collisions then what this video shows is actually a desirable trait of large trucks.

Common sense but it doesn't fit the agenda for the anti oil and gas crew

This chart is misleading. Obviously if you buy a crew cab or extended cab, the bed will be smaller. What type of cab you buy is dictated on your prioritized need of the truck. You can buy a truck with a bed larger than any bed of the older trucks if that is what you need. A standard cab truck will have over 8ft of bed space. The general public doesn’t need that much bed space so the general public doesnt buy standard cabs, they buy crew cabs because they prioritize space over bed length.

I don’t see unless you in some type of blue collar construction type gig how day to day regular folks drive them big goofy shyts. My wife has a Q7 not necessarily a truck but, damn for every day use especially being in the city it’s just inconvenient.

Crew Max with a 6.5 ft bed on a Tundra


I'd probably settle for a double cab (smaller backseat) and a 6.5 ft bed though

This was hard to watch. My mom was hit by a car a few years ago. She was put into a coma for 3 months, had memory problems for a year, broken leg, 5 broken ribs, collasped lung, broken sternum and a fractured skull. Had it been a larger car, she would be dead. The doctors said moms survived because she went over the wind shield.
