     Related: In the next aisle over there was another new model pickup. One full-grown woman walked past it and the hood was up past her chin. From the driver’s seat you’d only see her from the nose up at best.

     Another woman walked beside it and literally was entirely under the level of the side windows. Looking straight out from the seats, you wouldn’t have seen her at all.

     Sincerely, is there some/any reason for the crazy size of trucks these days? We’ve gotten long just fine with them already larger than most vehicles on the road for decades. Why the recent push for them to be so long and so tall?

     Yeah, so about truck sizes these days…

     This truck is legit as far back as it can get in the parking space, but this is how it looks on the aisle side. 🙄
