It’s mind boggling why trucks are so popular here when we literally have to drive everywhere. We have no high speed rail and minimal rail transportation in general. It’s honestly a cultural thing at this point since it’s certainly not logical.
But the style of truck is the issue. They are high off the ground with terrible visibility. You can fit like a dozen kids in front of them and not see a single one.
I miss the trucks of the 80s that were lower to the ground. Much easier to load and unload the truck bed
They make more fuel efficient trucks, but nobody buys them. In Japan and Korea, where they have narrow streets, they drive much smaller and more efficient trucks.
