I got a lot of push-back on a comment I made here about how bigger trucks/suvs are the primary cause the increasing pedestrian death-rate in America so apparently more people need to see this video.

I remember when a 6 foot bed was considered "wimpy"-- not a work truck. Now they all have them. It's weird that trucks weight 8k pounds now. They haul more stuff, though. You used to have to modify a truck to tow more, with bigger brakes, and maybe a turbo. Campers sure are big now. ATVs are all side-by-sides now, so they're almost as big as a car. So maybe rich people need bigger trucks for their bigger toys, but I think the chicken came before the egg.
