If it's electric, why is the hood tall? There should be no need and it is a danger to pedestrian and cyclists.
Well they have been stuffing their covers to obscure the shape, so dont know for sure. Given their bragging about aero, it likely is not as bad as it looks.
The kid killer bumper is a feature, not a bug, apparently
You think pickup buyers give a fuck about pedestrian safety?
I agree for the most part, but not ALL pickup buyers. I actually need a pickup, with 4x4 and a full size bed. It'd be nice to also be able to see where the hell I'm going. I think my only option is to buy a truck from the 1990's.
