Cars are getting bigger all the time. Trucks keep getting taller and longer, EVs keep getting heavier, and wheels seem to add another inch every time we turn our back. Now, it’s possible to see just how big vehicles have gotten over time with a useful online tool. The tagline of Carsized.com is “Bringing car […]
Something that kills me is when people say “trucks haven’t actually gotten much larger, their length and width are the same”
Sure. But their volume has swelled drastically. They’re much taller and have very different total surface areas.
Holy shit thank you for making this point because I feel like I am going insane. This sub has so many people that are now trucking SUV apologists. There are three or four specific users in specifically one who is absolutely proliferate in every single one of these threads cherry picking data to try to claim that trucks have not gotten larger. It’s like their full-time job or some thing. And it’s not even on the sub only. They will post in Ford subs truck subs everywhere declaring the trucks haven’t gotten bigger with cherry picked data. I think we all know who they are.
That’s true. My head was about in the ceiling of my 97 f350. I have a foot of headroom in a new one. I’m not short either. I realize the old trucks are a little cramped for tall individuals, but today’s trucks are designed so someone that’s 6’-10" won’t need to make any modifications or compromises lol
YES!! There are miles of sheet metal from the bottom of a truck’s body to the top of its bed or window sill. So much more than 20 years ago, it’s hideous. Yet people seem toove it.
