    How can people stand to drive these. You are so limited with how you can navigate the environment with barely any benefit.

      The excuse I’ve heard is that they want visibility because everyone else has tall ass jacked up trucks they need to be jacked up too.

      With that mentality, we should fit all of our toddlers and preteens with stilts and hivis vests so these poor truck owners will see them over the massive hood.

        The other excuse is that they want to be protected in a collision. And, there’s some truth to that. If you’re in a small car and you’re hit by a huge truck, you’re probably in a lot of danger. But, if you’re also in a huge truck you might not be hurt as badly. But that’s also a race to the bottom.
