My last car was a sedan. I loved it.
But when the stock truck next to you at a light has a higher hood that your roof it makes an impression on you.
A quick google shows a stock F150 at ~51” and it’s hardly the tallest. A RAM seems to be 58”. I know they’re adding pedestrian cams to the front of some trucks just so drivers can see if they’re about to hit someone at a light.
Sedans seem to be in the 55-57” range. They feel flat out unsafe at times.

Stupid trucks.
