uhh, okay

>Drove the ol' man's 6.6L High Country today
The hood is harder to see over than a Viper's, and I'm average height. Who the fuck likes this shit? It's genuinely dangerous, and not in the fun way.

>>28705302
left good right bad. the new one even has less ground clearance.

>>28705330
what year? you get used to it eventually but it doesn't need to be this way. it's an LS engine, they put these things in corvettes. literally these two vehicles have the same engine. explain to me why my truck has to be able to fit 2 of them on top of each other in its engine bay.

>>28705339
only one of those vehicles can tow twice its curb weight, and so its suspension and frame need to be able to take the forces that imparts on the wheels without significant deflection.

>>28705344
Muh druuuugggg DDDD;;;;

>>28705298 (OP)
more taller = more saferer

>>28705339
>what year?
'25
>it's an LS engine
The 6.6L is a turbodiesel and the hood is higher than the normal ones.

>>28705344
ok so then explain to me why a beefier suspension and frame for towing necessitates the hood and bed be cartoonishly tall.

Cars becoming larger and uglier is part of a larger psyop to demoralize. Same with buildings and houses getting more ugly and generic, fat and mid models advertising clothes. It's a concerted effort to deprive humanity of beauty. Beauty has great power, it inspires, it soothes, it instills hope. Take beauty from people and you push them one step closer to demoralization.

Cooling... A 500hp/1000+ft.lb diesel at full power is putting out a fuckload of heat. Even the gassers will cook when you let them eat. You need a lot of frontal area and radiator area to cool that. The rad in that truck is the size of a 42'' TV. Try mounting that in an old truck and see how that works out.

>>28705543
Sounds like a badly designed engine then. The Audi Q7 4L with its 500hp V12 TDI didn't need to be this fuckhuge to cool its engine. And that one got release in 2008.

>>28705567
That's neat. Now show me one towing 30k lbs up and over the mountains for 10 hours non stop.

>>28705419
Nailed it!

>>28705543
yeah wow man, 3 whole inches taller than a C7 vette radiator. crazy.

>>28705726
That's a 1500 rad... The 2500/3500 diesel rad is much bigger. They share the same body so both have to be pretty big and tall.

>>28705734
damn dude, any other nuggets of wisdom for us?

It's for the post apocalyptic world

Valuing the safety of the driver is a problem? Fucking retard

Female hands typed this post.

>>28705567
80% of grill area on modern trughhhs is fake and doesn't contribute to cooling

>>28706224
My trucks are filled with radiators everywhere

>>28705567
Lol wtf is an audi bro

>>28705737
Holy slop fag
2500 uses 2in spacers and 2in body lift on the exact same body.

>>28706224
Nigger you forget the pedestrian pillow and active aero shutter?
Government was a mistake

truck buyers need to take the base model midsize pill. this will do 97% of the tasks the big trucks do.

>>28705975
the size of trucks and their relation to safety is a self eating snake. They're bigger because other vehicles make collisions unsafe due to their size which, in turn, makes the other manufacturers pump up the size of their trucks. have you seen the front crash bars on these things? they have 2 or sometimes 3 reinforcement bars in an attempt to increase crash compatibility with sensibly sized cars and trucks from yesteryear.

>>28706313
Kill yourself, leftist.

>>28705708
if only we had known how good we had it

I always get a kick from mutts defending retarded looking trucks.
My dad had a Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer in the early 2010s, we towed our mastercrafts, wave runners and RVs no problem and the size was perfect. If you compare a car from today to that, the only explanation is that mutts average size has gone up 500%
Remember, for mutts: bigger=better.

>>28706402
how is anything I said a leftist comment? you're a retard. a leftist would've said they wanted their size reeled in with regulations or stop-sale laws. my position is clear that regulations are to blame for these behemoths. Now it's apparent to me that the MIGA clan buys them to "own the libs" instead of actually working with them judging by how you attached my criticism of large trucks to your political affiliation.

>>28705298 (OP)
Why are trucks becoming higher when Americans are becoming fatter and shorter (and browner)? How will they even reach anything in the bed?

>>28706284
oh yeah damn look at these identical trucks. crazy how they're exactly the same but look so different.

>>28706538
could you have found a lower resolution picture? maybe some trucks with more aftermarket shit on them?

>>28706586
those are two literally 100% identical 0 mile trucks next to each other on the lot at a chevy dealer.

Most truck owners don't actually use the bed. They just like to haul a lot of air to make up for all the air that never reaches their brain.

>>28705419

Post those fat bitch tits

>>28706599
why would air reach your brain? do you have a hole in your head?

>>28706286
>Nigger you forget the pedestrian pillow
If pedestrian safety was a concern the hood height would be lower and it would have a sloping shape.

>Government was a mistake
Hood design over modern trugghs is 10% government and 90% men compensating their undersized penises.

honestly if they just put a V8 in the colorado it wouldn't even be a big deal. these are a great size, it's just crazy that you can only get them with a 4 cylinder engine.

>>28706735
>these are a great size
Like fuck they are. They're the same size as my 20 year old 3/4 ton and marginally smaller than a modern half ton yet they have zero interior room. If you can't fit a 1/2 ton in your garage squeezing in a """midsize""" truck is going to get old pretty fucking quick so you might as well go for the bigger truck.

>>28706777
i like the size of my 2017 silverado so i think the current gen colorado zr2 with a V8 would be at the top of my list for a new truck. those don't exist though so i'm just going to keep my current truck around for a while longer and hope chevy gets their head out of their ass sometime soon.

>>28706735
>headlight switch in the fucking infotainment screen

>>28706310
kinda small and shitty on the inside to be fair. Needs to change to a unibody to get more interior space.

>>28706454
Imagine talking shit while having the ugliest SUV of all time a fucking eddie bauer

What the hell happened? It's OK for nutruggs to be tall but have some ground clearance. Modern trucks have the proportions of a beached whale.

>>28706735
NOBODY has put a V8 in a midsize since Ram did for the Dakota. Toyota almost put the 4.7 in the 2nd gen Tacoma but was worried about eating Tundra sales even though the Tacoma dominated the midsize segment.
The twins happen to have the same shit-ass 4-pot TT that they couldn't sell in the base Silverado, what makes you think they want to do anything else, especially since that platform comes with a TT4 diesel abroad?

>>28706777
All of the current midsizes are pigfat. It's absolutely ridiculous, especially when people used to want them for being small. It's made me consider an older V8 single cab short bed half-ton since nothing is small anymore.

>>28706822
If you're okay with the size of a Silverado then you might as well just get the Silverado ZR2. GM will never make a performance midsize because people don't buy them. Nobody buys the Ranger Raptor or the Bronco Raptor. Also what's the point of the off road trim midsizes when you're cucked to tiny 33'' tires?

>>28705313

>something designed for dramatic purpose and practicality last, often with the intention to hide insecurities

>>28705339
Ground clearance doesn't matter. At worst it will see a gravel road and maybe a curb or two.

wow a real newton over here

>>28706590
if your IQ wasn't sub-90, you'd be able to see past the different bumper trim to notice that the actual bodies are the same.

That's not 10 hours

>>28707150
Did you not see how calm and relaxed the trucks were? Look up what the American towing standards entail.

Indeed, the inanimate object did not display any outward emotion. Now will you post that 10 hours video of a chevy truck going uphill with 30k lbs load?
