The problem is that we have way more tall profile vehicles out there than we do cargo being carried. It's not really a necessity, lots of people are just buying these things because they like the aesthetic moreso than having any practical need for them.
Plus I'm not even sure the general statement is really that true. The El Camino was a regular car profile. If you're just buying a pick up to haul furniture around rather than, say, bales of hay you don't need it to be that tall.
- kube-system 7y agoI was referring to commercial trucks, in line with the above commenters mention of Brazillian truck underride guards, which also are required in the US. Commercial trucks all around the world have a high profile. The only thing in the US that is different is that passenger vehicles don't have as strict of pedestrian standards as the EU. I'm just saying: a semi and a lorry have the same pedestrian-unfriendly profile.
