In the US most equipment suppliers have raised loading unloading for contractors.
So the big pickups are designed to be a similar height to low loader semis in the US.
Comment on Approving US-made cars would make UK roads less safe
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 days agoThe huge American “pickup” trucks aren’t even useful for practical work apparently. Apparently the beds are too shallow and too high up. It’s literally just for aesthetic.

I sold a washing machine second hand and the guy with a ute (pickup-truck) that came to get it spend ages securing the load in the centre of the bed so that it wouldn’t rub on the expensive rub bars. This guy was so fucking fragile about his ute I was amazed. I’ve known blokes to buy a new ute and basically had the attitude of the tray is for working, if you damage the cab I’ll be pissed.
