But the bed used to be where the people went too. Then they made that illegal. When I was a kid it was pretty common to just sit in the bed, now you have to have a cab big enough for everyone to keep from getting a ticket.

- notch898a 4y agoI'm pointing out it's a ridiculous nostalgia to think back about the days when the truck wasn't a people hauler. It was. They just made the bed an illegal place to put the people. Making the cab longer isn't to ruin people's nostalgia. It's to deal with the legal requirements for transporting passengers. You're illustrating my point. We shouldn't be outraged when you make something illegal and the vehicle is adapted to deal with that. Why would we be upset about fewer people getting dead, shouldn't we be happy about bigger cabs if that's the case?
- throw0101a 4y ago> It's to deal with the legal requirements for transporting passengers. In 1982 the top selling vehicle in the US was the Ford Escort. In 2022 it was the Ford F-150. People were hauled in the Escort just fine (and probably more comfortably in the rain and winter). The F-150 wasn't adapted to better haul people because changes to safety laws: it was adapted do help profit margins.
