Have you seen the guy who was inspecting his new truck and sliced his wrist open in the exposed edge by the tail light?
Also the leading edge of the truck is absolutely a pedestrian murdering device.
Most modern trucks are also terrible and need to have pedestrian safety rules applied to them, but at least they aren’t made with “bullet proof” sheets of stainless steel with literally knife sharp leading and trailing edges.
