Modern trucks are too big.
Left is bloatmaxxed
Ngl them's are nice truggs.
3rd gen Frontier is exactly as capable (towing, payload, bed size) as the 2nd gen Frontier, but has a bit stupid, bloated front end. It's not like they stashed a better radiator for towing or something in there.
People can always cherry pick photos. Yo really make them seethe you have to show width stats which are codified with maximum dimensions by law.

God the nu rangers are so sexy
They really aren't though
It's jarring on compact trucks in particular
The new ranger and the new colorado are better in every way, cope
>more electronics
>weigh more
>worse visibility
>garbage drivetrains
>cost the same as a full size
how exactly?
>garbage drivetrains
They actually outperform the old ones by a lot
my favorite part about people like you is that you just say shit and think because you believe it in your heart then it must be true
So you agree that the newer trucks are bigger? Sounds like you're the one coping. Or you're just mindbroken over the BLOAT.
Why did the clearance/approach angle get worse?
It's a fuel economy and power thing. In an attempt to force auto manufacturers to be more efficient the EPA created mandates for fuel consumption by weight class. The only way to get around this was for the manufacturers to create vehicles in higher weight classes so they could deliver the power people wanted.
It's actually far more about profit margins and the "safety arms race". You can charge $50,000 for a pickup that costs as much as a full size sedan to make, but you'll be hard pressed to sell that sedan with the same features and interior quality. It has frick all to do with appeasing customers and everything to do with corporate greed. Add on how auto manufacturers have fooled drivers into believing that driving in a vehicle twice the weight of a typical car is somehow safer, and you have full sized trucks and SUVs.
>fooled drivers into believing that driving in a vehicle twice the weight of a typical car is somehow safer
It is, it's basic physics
Do you understand "basic physics?" You say that, but I don't think you have any fricking clue what you're talking about. Do you have any idea how much more energy is involved in an accident when you double the weight of the vehicles? There's more to an accident than the crumble zones. The inertia flinging human bodies around, the movement of the brain in the skull, the possibility of you smashing your skull in on the steering wheel, the greater speed that projectiles are moving at, etc. Not to mention by driving a vehicle that's twice the weight with double the ground clearance you're completely ruining the crash-safety technology of every normal shaped vehicle on the road. On top of that, bringing that excessive weight up higher off the ground means you'll probably just flip over and be crushed in any wreck.
It's comically more dangerous.
>Do you have any idea how much more energy is involved in an accident when you double the weight of the vehicles?
It's a non-issue, what matters is the guy in the smaller vehicle gets crushed because your translational momentum is larger for the same speed and momentum is preserved in a crash.
Jesus Christ you're fricking moronic
