I had to drive a truck recently, (needed to rent a vehicle, and they only had pickups left.) It was a chevrolet Colorado, which I understand to be one of the smaller trucks available in North America, and I was so happy to get rid of it at the end of the trip. It was fine on the highway, but in the city it was just incredibly awkward. Cumbersome handling, blind spots for days...I constantly felt like I was going to hit something.

I can't even imagine how clueless you'd be about your immediate surroundings in a monstrosity like what's pictured here.
