    Met a guy a few days ago who had just purchased a new Chevy Silverado. The hood was at his shoulder. He installed a front camera because he can’t see shit from the driver’s seat. It’s not even lifted.

    When will the lawsuits for these fundamentally unsafe designs start?

        Ralph Nader was a bullshit pushing con artist. That said, I used to have to drive a 2015 ish Dodge 3500 diesel for work (construction, supply delivery) and that one was horribly bad. Not just from the hood height, that wasn’t far out of line, but you sat so low down relative to the hood height, 5 foot tall bollards off the port bow would disappear from view 20 feet away. This is directly all due to crash regulations, vehicles you can see out of are riskier for passengers. mid teens camaros were the same way.
        I just realized i was better off with my early 90s junk i can see out of.
