@fj You can’t even get a capable small truck in the US anymore. Tacomas are as big as Tundras used to be. It’s ridiculous. The hoods are so tall they suck for off-roading visibility. You lose the trail in front of you going uphill.

@fj I wish they’d be largely banned from American roads, too.

@fj
This is not an important fight for American car makers. They just make noise out of habit.Even with the current IVA loophole, the market for supersized American cars in the EU is minuscule. If they sold well, they would make EU type approved version and would have no need for IVA.

@fj incredible cultural insensitivity from Brussels, don't they know that the F150 is Ford's *smallest* truck in that line?

@fj our roads aren't big enough for those monsters on wheels

@fj why not let people decide if they want such a large vehicle or not?

@fj Someone who made a song and video like this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPeheoBa2_Y">Army Of Me</a> then maybe. Anybody else nah.

@fj I don't think those things would fit our roads

@fj the F150 isn't even a big truck by US standards. We don't need anything that large as a car!!

@fj At least we can quantify the masculinity deficit of some people.

@reloadedhead @fj Because they endanger others, use way more space and it also encourages driving like pricks.
Or is it just making pricks more visible? -

@fj I moved to Austin, Texas 10 years ago from the NYC metro area. Seeing these trucks on the road is *still* a sight to behold. Just ridiculous.

@fj Pet peeve: when you make sharepics for a good cause, don't compare apples to oranges. Point in case: I don't know about US cars, but I am sure the small Renault Twingo in that size ended production in 2007, the current model is somewhat wider and longer.

@fj I sometimes see the Ford Ranger, which is a "small" pickup per US standards and it's already ridiculously large. I hope we never see those monstrosities here.
But UVDL will UVDL and she might cave to them
