    Firstly, that’s a big ass car and no one other than tradesperson or people who work closely with construction should be driving that. Secondly, that’s a big ass gap, at least 1m, dude purposefully went all the way out there to proof his point.

      No offense but that’s a basic F150 Ram 1500. It’s got one of the shortest beds of the lineup.

      A vehicle with a longer bed or dual wheels, or even with a trailer (say a municipal vehicle for the sake of argument) might have trouble making that turn. It’s not necessarily that his personal truck can’t do it. Just because his truck can doesn’t mean all vehicles can.

      It needs to be safe enough for all vehicles that might have to travel that road.

          Yeah. Like. I get it. People are pissed because passenger vehicles in the US keep getting bigger and more unweildy and people don’t want them on the road because of the danger to pedestrians.

          But at the same time, the people who service your roads, power lines and water systems and respond to emergency situations still have to drive on them.

          Just because he’s being overdramatic about his own vehicle doesn’t mean he’s not right.

      As I said, feel free to disagree but at least disagree with their actual point - not your interpretation of it.

      It’s unclear to me what your personal opinion on pickup trucks has to do with any of this. I’m talking about fairly representing people’s views. I don’t know what it is you seem to take issue with.
