I live in a small town so I'm sorry to say, that is exactly how big pickup trucks are now. What isn't clear from the angle of that photo is the bed is most likely less than 6 feet long, meaning it can fit less in the bed than a minivan with only rearmost row folded down.
The best part is, in rural America there's folks who look at that stock truck, say it isn't big enough and get a lift kit and extra large tires installed so it rides 2 feet off the ground and the wheels extend multiple inches past the fenders (sometimes they're further out than the mirrors even) and the illegality of such mods on public roads goes entirely unenforced. Oh and those are the folks who don't also make their trucks roll coal
I'm fully convinced that in 50 years we will be STUNNED that this was normal once. Just like lobotomies, or smoking in schools.
Yeah well I remember being convinced that racism would go the way of the Dodo when I grew up too. Sadly some 40 years later it seems to be thriving.
Oh god, the rolling of coal. So help me these fuckers literally give people cancer and think it is funny.
I bet the coal rollers are loving the modifications to use a crapload more fuel at the moment lmao
The modified truck drivers (nobody rolls coal locally to me anymore but plenty keep putting in lift kits and even more oversized tires than stock) always start moaning when gas prices go over $4/gallon, in part because they can no longer fully fill their tank in one transaction at many gas station (most stop after $100) and that's also the point where the dealerships start advertising their vehicles with better fuel economy rather than the oversized gas guzzling trucks and SUVs
$4/gallon is really the magical point where change starts to happen, and most of America is not far from that right now. I'm hopeful that it does get up to $5 or so for a while because that might cause some meaningful change for the better
