One of the reasons I bought my truck. Not being a d**k, but it will always fair better in a car vs truck collision:

“Pickups also tend to be more dangerous in collisions between differently sized vehicles — car drivers are 2.5 times more likely to die when colliding with a pickup as compared to another car, per a 2019 study.”

Shouldn't that read " cars also tend to be more dangerous in collisions...." ?

Maybe their getting bigger to attract more "HE Men"....
Get your BIG truck now, and impress the gals...."The Bigger Your Truck means The Bigger Your.... IS "
I think it's true....I remember when I had an F-350 Dually Extended Cab, my ..... got HUGE. but when I started to get smaller trucks, my ..... got smaller !!!
Ranger is mid-size, so my ..... got a little bit bigger .
Big trucks just make it look smaller, just scream im compensating. Its all about optics.

Yes, I just read the 6g version will be 2 inches wider-glad I grabbed a nice almost new 5g Ranger.
And yet when you look at one it doesn't really show. Quite a lot running around over here now.
