But isn’t there at least a way to make it safer for pedestrians? Because this stuff gives you a low visibility and when pedestrian is hit it’s much more dangerous compared to a car with a low hood. I’m open to a discussion and learning more about the topic because I don’t want to blindly hate something.
I don’t know, I don’t design trucks. I do use one for work though, and we use all the clearance from the vehicle’s height, towing capacity, cargo space and passenger space. And the visibility is not terrible. It would suck to get hit by one, but that’s kinda just how it is. You wouldn’t want to be hit by an 18 wheeler either, but you probably want the groceries they carry. Just like you want landscaping, construction, utility work etc performed with pickup trucks completed.
I do wish that light duty compact pickup trucks were still more of a thing, they can also do some lighter duty work while being more reasonable when used as a passenger vehicle.
They don’t need to be so big an high tho
Edit: And this was the point of the meme, not that they’re completely useless
They absolutely do.
