Pedestrian concerns aside (this really can't be much worse than the other megalithic land yachts on the market), I like the idea of cars on the market that offer driver safety trade-offs in exchange for utility, aesthetics, or price. Insurance can price that into the premium. I'd gladly give up some physical security for certain benefits. Just put a 'do not resuscitate' flag on my card if the insurance won't clear or something.
- nikanj 6y agoThe SUV market offers numerous driver safety trade-offs in exchange for safety to everyone else on the road. Getting your compact car mangled by a F350 tank is horrible.
- crocodiletears 6y agoYes, I've been in that position. It ain't great. I'd like to be able to trade on my own safety, not others (e.g. sacrificing crumplezones for a more compact cabin and greater carrying capacity).
- GongOfFour 6y agoHow many F-350s do you see on a daily basis?
- kmonsen 6y agoI’m in the Bay Area and see since F-150 every time we go on the 101. That being said I would guess some cheap Honda or Toyota is way more popular. Maybe they just have more different models. Looking at the data is looks like gm sells most, with Toyota, Ford, and FCA battling for second.

Granted lots of farms around here and there are tax breaks for full sized trucks, so there are a ton around (lots on used market for this reason too).
- GongOfFour 6y agoF-150s are not F-350s.
- anonfornoreason 6y agoI am taking full size not f-150. Everyone here drives a 2500 or 3500. Like I said, it’s different than the city.
- GongOfFour 6y agoI live in the country. F-150s are far more popular than F-250s. 350s/3500s are not common at all.
