Trucks and sport utility vehicles with hood heights greater than 40 inches are about 45% more likely to cause fatalities in pedestrian crashes than shorter vehicles with sloped hoods, according to new research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

    I didn’t think that sounded right so I looked it up; Chevrolet themselves say it’s between 11 and 12 litres/100km

    I don’t know what Kia you have, but their diesel Sorento SUV averages 6-7 litres/100km, nearly half what your tiny-penis truck uses

    Funny also that people pull trailers in every country in the world using much smaller trucks without a problem

    You don’t need that truck, same way as nobody else on the planet, no matter what their profession, needs it

      Please stop this bullshit. There are most certainly reasons to own a truck that can haul big things. Including in Europe. It’s just that 90% of the trucks you see in a Costco parking lot don’t need to be that way.
