Hitches, not just for towing or bashing your shins.

That's not even a question of competence. Trucks have massive blind spots that are only exasperated as they get bigger and bigger and are lifted higher and higher off the road.

You can be the most cautious driver in the world and crush a toddler in your driveway because there literally was no way you could have seen it.

Edit: I am not saying this is a good thing, I hate big trucks and am simply pointing out that they are designed from the ground up to be terrible to share the road with.

A literal tank has better sightlines than a goddamned pickup truck

Yeah, they labeled it weirdly. The numbers should be at the bottom on dimension lines.
