Modern trucks are signifcantly larger and bulkier than their older counterparts. Their bed and bumper heights have increased and many of them have become luxury vehicles. The truck went from a workhorse to the family vehicle.

Many people also buy a vehicle, such as a truck, that is significantly over qualified/over capable for the majority of their trips. If you buy an oversized vehicle, it is on you to deal with parking it and fitting it places, it should not be society's problem to service oversized vehicles.

Where at any point did I say it wasn't up to them to deal with parking? Y'all love to lecture.

Have a bad take and get called out for it, then you bitch about being called out on a bad take. You're sounding a lot like an orange fella I know of.
