Hey now, I'm 5'9" and a lady, but do you not care that women are on average 5'5" or whatever? Why scale it to men? Scale it to the average person, not the average man.
Ideally you should be able to see all the way down to the road. That is the reason I love the back up camera. It shows me ground level, mirror and looking back show me the human level view.
Don't get offended for the sake of getting offended, jfc .
Would it be better if he used a banana for scale, because that's all he's doing. He's showing how large the truck is compared to him, an average height American human male.
Wtf do you want, him to say he's four inches taller than the average American woman and this truck should be illegal?
It should, btw. Pavement princesses in particular...there's no logical reason for this to exist. Contractors in the entire rest of the world get by just fine with trucks that could fit in the cab of this monstrosity.
I remember driving from Houston to Dallas last year and seeing countless pavement princesses along the way. All unscathed and unloaded.
I saw one pickup truck with a trailer attached and it was a fucking Rivian.
OP is so sexist for not being exactly the average human height!
I think your brain has rotted. Use some common sense to think why the dude that is average male height mentioned average male height for a visual comparison.
You're the person everone rolls their eyes at
