I hate these high front ends now. Not only can you not see pedestrians, they are terrible for off-roading which is their supposed purpose. When go up any sort of incline you can’t see the road at all. A slanted down front end is better for visibility, aerodynamics, just about everything. This trend is stupid.
These trucks don't off road. They are pavement princesses.
a slanted down hood is required if you want to sell your cars in EU and most countries of Asia. Anything else negligent homicide, and the car makers should be held accountable
Their solution is to add a trail cam on the front so you can run over kids with impunity while also watching your line while off-roading.
It's not stupid if you're an oil company trying to increase profits, then it makes perfect sense to make your oil guzzling death machine as big, bulky and inefficient as possible.
