The worst part is you can’t see children and teenagers walking Infront of them. Which means you can’t see normal cars Infront of you either. They are essentially worse than semi-trucks because they have slanted hoods, mirrors and better designed visibility and laws.
Part of why these monstrosities are possible is that pickup trucks, and most SUVs, are regulated as “trucks” not “cars” and so they don’t have to follow all the same safety rules as cars.
There are some that actually have a camera in the front so you can look at a camera view of what’s in front of you and blocked by the monstrous hood. I suppose that’s good, but it seems like if they have to put a front-facing camera in a vehicle, they’re admitting that the view out front is so obstructed that the vehicle shouldn’t be legal.
As an American construction worker, I’d much rather have HiLux than these monstrosities. It’s ridiculous. No need for this shit.

If they do have a camera, that camera works only under 10-15mph, above that it’s disabled.
Ok, and?
