I have a Hilux which I think is big . Used for farm work and towing while the EV is my preferred vehicle these days as it is much more cost effective. The Hilux is actually tiny compared with a RAM or Silverado. I’m quite conscious that visibility in a parking lot is bad around a Ute or SUV but as you say many are totally oblivious or just don’t care about their usage.

Parking inspectors could be a big help here.
