They’re talking about pickup trucks, not delivery semis.

And if you look at pickup trucks, they’ve gotten way taller since the 00’s, for no reason except style.

There are other reasons (not that they're good ones):

So take everyone's pickup away and your child still gets hit by an illegal driving a u-haul, okay.

Just teach safety and enforce speeding/dwi/immigration laws.

Much better than taking a certain vehicle away from law abiding citizens.

I need my large truck just as much as I need my EV. I haul stuff constantly while also driving safely and following all laws.
