Comparison of older and newer pick-up truck. Although the truck bed is essentially the same, the overall truck size is substantially larger and higher.
Trucks have been getting bigger, more energy & space consuming, more polluting, and much deadlier to everyone around them including kids. Not because most of us actually need bigger vehicles, but as ego boosts, status symbols & “indicators of male virility.” Note the truck bed is basically the same.
