Pissed me off to no end when my buddy was over and wanted to see how the tailgate worked and I didn't realize the hitch was an issue. I pressed the button to drop the step and "clank!" My truck was all of about 2 weeks old, and had a nice ding (thankfully a very small mark). I will say though, even though I don't use it often - it is nice dropping the step vs. having to jump in and out of the truck bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just laugh at the shit people on here complain about with no realization of why. Trucks today ride better, have better hauling/towing capacities just to name a few. Those may drive things like taller boxes. I'll take the advantages of the modern day trucks any day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to get a new ramp to get a sled into the back of my truck because the one I have is to short now. I get a new truck every 2 years and have had them from all the manufacturers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidude600 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 You guys need to lighten up. You guys don't hear me complaining about having to use a booster seat to see over the steering wheel or blocks to reach the pedals, do ya?

Are you an automotive engineer? Another reason is cab space. Cabs are taller and more roomy and much more ergonomically comfortable. It would look ridiculous a tall cab then keeping the box low. I swear people can't look beyond their nose. Edited August 30, 2023 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mexicans figured out how to lower modern a truck and still have it usable and normal. The durmaxs every diesel head has a hard on over sit shorter than the new trucks and tow about the same. They can do it, they choose not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
