I mean if I see a older pickup that's obviously used for that purpose I don't judge. They used to be roughly the same size as a sedan (and often had bigger beds anyway) and thus weren't any more dangerous. I don't think that's a problem.

However over the years these new pickups keep getting bigger heavier and more dangerous. Their visibility is getting increasingly poor for seeing anything around it, and I think the regulations should be updated to fix that.

Also the ridiculous modifications some people are putting on their pickups to make them even bigger and heavier should be outright banned or at least have some kind of regulatory process. These drivers are turning their vehicles into monster trucks without anything stopping them. They can now run over any regular sized car instead of crashing
