Out of town they’re pretty nice to drive to be fair. Wide and long wheelbase = great on highway, tons of clearance = shouldn’t be too worried about getting gravel dings on a dirt road compared to a low car.
But of course most of them are driven around town mostly, where there’s literally no benefit to the size unless you’re trying to score a gouranga. You don’t get the seating capacity of a large SUV and unlike a van your back’s open so good luck storing anything there without getting it stolen when parked unless you get a cover for the bed, in which case why didn’t you just get an SUV that lets you switch between extra seats and cargo space?
but you do see them blocking shit nearby. and making places perfectly normal but slightly tight parking absolutely terrible to navigate through because they jammed a boat into the small parking lot and blocked half the lane
How’s the visibility? Have you driven a normal car before? I enjoy driving but I actually like seeing the road and most contemporary pick up trucks are so bad regarding this.
I have to other cars, a 05 Camry and 08 edge, so I do have other cars. To answer your question visibility is amazing. 360 view cameras, I can see it all
That’s part of the issue with these big, slab fronted trucks and SUVs. They’re so blunt and tall that they obscure anyone shorter than the vehicle, like a child, if they’re too close.
I just don’t understand how can people enjoy driving this boat. You see nothing, parking is a nightmare and what benefits do you get?
Make pee pee feel big
Police can’t see you have gay sex with prostitutes, it’s why they jack up the suspension. Tell everyone.

On the plus side, you never see them in places with difficult parking.
You do. They just use more than one parking space or partially block the road/sidewalk
Nah, they just use 2 or more spots, or block part of the way.
in placea with actually difficult parking, no

They like the idea of everyone looking at them longingly. What they don’t realize is everyone is looking at their abhorrent vehicle.
Everyone i ever knew who drove these things is just because they can and how manly and loud it is.
Because it makes small PP look large. Very big. Get many women.

My truck is a luxury SUV without the back end being covered, has alll the comforts you’d need. Amazing vehicle
all the comforts that I need except being able to see out of it, drive safely, and not worry about killing people

These cameras are all on while you’re driving? So you could see a child if they were close to the front of your truck?
Front and back cameras can be but I don’t see why I wouldnt see a kid

Lost me. I have no interest in looking at screens when I drive.
