exactly right..I have a Ford F150 that sits high enough I can see way down the road (unless I’m behind an 18 wheeler) and if I see a problem 200 yards ahead, I’m on the brake, or changing lanes or both before the car in front of me has started to react. This comes in especially handy when I’m hauling my 6500 lb. travel trailer and NEED extra room to avoid problems..
I won’t get into a car when all I can see out of the windshield is the rear bumper of the car in front of me..
You want a car that sits high enough that you can see through the windscreens of the car in front of you — fair enough, all of us want that. If everyone stuck to sedans, that wouldn’t be a problem. The problem is when one guy buys a truck, then automatically all the other cars are at a disadvantage. The second person will soon follow suit and then the third, fourth etc. until everyone is driving a truck. Then, somone ups the ante and gets a Hummer or a larger, taller truck....
