    What a claim to fame. The best absurdly large pedestrian killers for suburban parents to pick up groceries with.

      Stupid if you don’t need one. Absolutely essential if you do. I am a car dealer and also do aircraft salvage, without a good truck the business is not possible.

        True, but most of the people driving them absolutely do not need one, and that’s an intentional strategy pushed by car makers to work around emissions standards and because larger vehicles have a higher profit margin.
