BTW the tank has a better forward view than the truck

It's worse than that. I live in a rural Midwestern state, and have seen huge expensive trucks outside of a tiny home in terrible condition. Their truck is probably equally expensive as their home. It's sucking all of their income and driving them into poverty.

Also near me, there was a billboard advertisement that said simply, "YOU NEED A TRUCK" with a picture of one of these monsters. I see people driving them around hauling nothing. It's about 30% of the vehicles on the road. It's a culture I will never understand.
