Maybe one of those urban bulls that this vehicle is designed to push out of the way without damaging the grille in any way?

No, seen them before, but both the ugliness and brutal front end (and lack of sightlines from the windscreen) were particularly stark from this perspective, I thought.
My petrolhead friend at least has the sense to prefer vintage cars which generally had a decent view of the road immediately in front of the car. It's hard to appreciate just how small his Lancia Appia is – but it's just wide enough for two normal-sized people to sit side by side.

Even worse than I thought! It's just a total monstrosity, without one redeeming feature. Utter madness.

Bit harsh that as a comparison, but I get the point.
Like I said, these trucks make sense when they're used for what they're intended, but selling them for general trundling around is madness. Same with Land Rovers over here I guess, although I have seen a few F150s around recently.

I see an increasing amount. And all are status symbols which are never used for their intended use.
They are simply too large for our streets. Yes, I've seen a couple driving with wheels on the pavements either side of the road!

I did have a chuckle watching one going into a multi storey in town a few weeks ago, as the dangling height restriction sign scraped along the cab.
