    Hey American modern pick up truck heads. Notice how normal the bonnet is? Notice how you can SEE enough to not run people over? This is a true utility vehicle. Look how massive this bad boy is without being a death machine 👍

      It’s also absolutely adorable 😂

      (which is probably why they’d hate it 🙄)

      I have a mini cargo van as my everyday car that can move quite a bit of cargo, but I also bottom out if I go on a road that’s too bumpy.

      The family truck has the clearance to go off the pavement.

        A video which puts all the arguments better than I ever could: https://youtu.be/jN7mSXMruEo

        But the notion you can only have high clearance by making your hood so massive to the point you can’t see your child as you run them over in your own driveway, doesn’t make sense.

        I’d strongly encourage you to give the video a go.

        These trucks are now infesting my streets to (Australia) to a lesser degree. It’s an arms race that really needs to be stopped. I hope you consider some of the points made in the video.
