I don’t know anything about perceptual or intentional blindness ,
but I think a lifted pick up with large mirrors would make it
difficult to see a shorter person immediately in front
of the vehicle.
How long till the effort to restrict pick up mods?

Most newer trucks are not the best for close quarters driving. I drive a standard Suburban. It also has large mirrors and pillars which take up a lot of forward sight. I tend to stick to the back of parking lots and negotiate into and out of parking spaces very slowly and carefully using all my mirrors and my head constantly on a swivel and always making sure I can pull forward out of the space if possible.

That and Ergonomics.
