Really should be comparing the volume of pickup bed, not just the % of its total length

The volume could definitely be higher now, since the box sides are so bloody high that you can't actually put anything in the truck without a ladder.
As a farmer and actual truck user everyone I know has a beat up farm truck from the 80s for actual truck use, modern truck is just a big car for comfortable city trips
The problem with the big truck for city trips is that the city usually has small parking spots lol
And the one in-front is becoming legally impossible to drive.
Yeah, check it out in a collision, it’s unsafe as shit for the driver.
So are motorcycles. Maybe we should have a special license requirement for them, just like motorcycles.
Check how much worse it is for the pedestrian to be hit by the pick up truck.

My body my choice! Lol
Because the modern truck has crash safety in mind due to crumple zones and other shit. I bet if a small truck were to be redesigned today with modern collision technology it would be just as safe as the truck without being multiple tons heavy to the point you nearly need a cdl license to drive a behemoth

People used to use trucks for hauling. Now they are $70k+ status symbols for people who need to scream, "I am insecure."
These trucks are also a very American thing. Rarely see that anywhere in Europe. Lots of toxic masculinity in the US
We are getting there though. SUVs are already the standard and it's getting worse. Imo SUVs are even worse in some respects. There at least are theoretical use cases for a pickup truck, a SUV is always egotistical bullshit.

Black people couldn't vote in 1961 so maybe it's not so bad after all.
I guess proving (again) so many pick up truck owners do not really need a pick up, they just need to feel manly for a change
