First time I sat in the passenger seat of one I was still shocked. it's even more frustrating that if you actually need to tow something heavy you have no option to avoid this outside an older truck. Some manufacturer should clue in and advertise a 3/4 ton as that won't make you kill the neighbor's kid. And I want sightlines, not cameras.
WTF ? Now we have to deal with monstertrucks ?
Doing groceries is a heavy duty task!
There’s a sardonic chuckle from me every time I pass an SUV stopped at a red light in the bike lane…while carrying more groceries in my saddle bags than all of its combined cargo.
These bbq crates from Costco need to be mobed with a forklift

Why does the front of the car needs to be that high? Does it serve any utility?

Cars are dangerous enough. Deathbox has gotta go.
They don't even sell the Chevy Colorado where I live. Too small for the demographic here, who needs the biggest truck on the market with aftermarket lift kits.
I think I've seen the source video on Donut Media, there a was funny moment with a rando on wheelchair and they used him as example

True
Yeah cars are bullshit. Yeah these vehicles are monstrosities that guzzle gas.
But, sedans are too low to the ground. As a tall person, I need something SUV-sized (regular SUV like a buick envoy) just to get out of. The whole world is designed around someone who is ~5'7". I am 6'3". Getting in and out of vehicles, off of low rise furniture, and reaching down to get stuff off if grocery store shelves is a ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS!!!
I need a taller vehicle just to get out of. I basically have to crawl just to get in and out of an uber sedan.
*Edit: I wish there was viable mass transit here. I'd rather have convenient metro rail. Absent that, I want an electric SUV
