Well, the very rear of the cab tapers and heavily curves, which is creating a pinched look.   That's one of the reasons I mentioned above that the greenhouse reminded me of the FJ/FJ crusier     Man, those FJs were hideous.....       I wonder if that data is still true?  Here are Q1 results, but obviously that includes Ram's HD sales.   I'd guess them bringing back the V8 for the Ram 1500 may have boosted those sales.  

Oh, yeah, you should drive a Super Duty crew cab then!  😄    3, 4, and 5 point turns are a thing and small parking lots suck.

It’s mostly a turn radius thing. The truck has a much wider turn radius than the flex

It's not just the size or sheer length, it's how well the sightlines and mirrors are.  Fuzzy mentioned his Flex, but I find my Super Duty, which is much larger all round is easier to park than the Flex was.  But, it has HUGE mirrors that allows me to see everything along the sides so much easier.   Now, the Bronco?  It's about as easy to park as you can get!  But, it's short, and has great sightlines all around.   Oh, and the 360 camera helps tremendously!

I'm amused seeing people trying to back out of a parking space in a "little" RAV4, and having a hard time and I'm there rolling my eyes thinking "girl it's 181 inches, I'm sure in the 80s you were rolling on a Country Squire at 204 inches and you had no issues"...   And here I was passing my driver's license test in a 740iL that was equally 204 inches...🤣

That color is awesome. Agreed with everyone else about the blackout on the tailgate.

I think it boils down to "pain points" when it comes to vehicles:   Example-CUVs are generally easier to get in and out of vs cars, but they are often larger, but also offer more "space", so customers deal with it.   I'm sure full sized pickups are the same thing-I really haven't ever heard anyone that owns a full size truck complain about parking it, maybe if they where a Raptor owner where its also wide and long. I live in an urbanized area and I still see plenty of F-150 and super duties being used as personal vehicles.    I think its personal biases working into peoples arguments-its like the wagon mafia that you saw on line for the past 25 years or so...people are like those are so cool but yet no demand from the actual buying customer.  

I don't speak as an "expert" but correct no air brakes on a 600.  I think one of the biggest attractions-besides 4WD- is the physical size is less intimidating to the driver vs the size of the 650.  For sure it is a safer alternative to a 550 at 19,500 gvw that is always overloaded to the max.
