You don’t fit. Go to your own garage. You are several feet too long.

I really think driving these things around should only be legal for work purposes.
They should require a commercial license, have hardware speed limiters, be restricted to only the right lane of the highway, and require biannual safety inspections. You want to cosplay as a trucker, you get to live by trucker rules.
The loophole is many who own their own trades business still drive them for personal uses because they can’t afford (don’t want) another car.
If they used a functional and efficient (and way less expensive) van instead of a pickup for their trade, the ownership and fuel savings would more than pay for a reasonable car to use as a car.
Yes very specifically had one modified to fit the height of loading docks with a hydraulic gate, to move heavy ass things and a crew of workers, maybe in some cases another vehicle would make sense but we had to get equipment to some pretty remote places as well. Of course one of our employees took it home everyday to do burnouts or whatever. To a certain extent cops are more lenient to a commercial vehicle.
If only the people who drove them for legitimate work purposes owned them, even as their only vehicle, it would be a huge number off the roads.
They’re only common because of tax laws. Everyone else in the world uses box vans for most “work” purposes, and if not box vans, the same frame with something else in the back. Pickup trucks have their uses but they’re worse than vans for most trades.
For my field pickup trucks are the way to go, but we often have to go off road to reach a site.
That said this truck is still too large. While we may need the extended bed for additionally equipment storage, the front and basically porfile/height could still be reduced significantly. It’s a huge issue with modern truck design
If function were a priority at all for pickup trucks they would have stubby sloped noses like Sprinter vans have. But no, they need to have massively elongated and elevated hoods because the vast, overwhelming majority are sold exclusively as penis prosthetics.
It’s comical how empty the engine bay is under those stupid hoods. On Rams with the V6 I can literally stand on the ground in between the radiator and the front end of the engine and still have room to move around.
Don’t I know it. Most of my male family members have been tradespeople and all but one chose/chooses a van over a pickup truck.
