Decent picture that shows how 1/2 ton trucks are bulking up in size

2019 on the left, 2016-2018 model on the right. And the old model is leveled / lifted some.

Interestingly despite GM’s aero and weight saving tricks with the 19 it is still only managing roughly the same fuel economy as the old model. They are basically trying to fix the negative aero effect of the huge front end.

I think you mean the opposite


Or do you mean the picture left or not the actual left? Or is this like a baseball left field vs right field thing?

yeah, "normal" sized trucks are getting fricking huge, but that's been a trend for a while.

My 2010 Tacoma is basically the size of an early 2000's Tundra

Helps reduce the amount of nut flop as well. Really changed the game IMO.

I still use a 92 Silverado and the size difference is hilarious when I pull up to a baw in a new 1500.

bad comparison. when they changed the T100 to Tundra they kept is very small compared to the other full size trucks. the early tunrda wasnt a full sized truck. just a larger tacoma.

This is almost as bad as your Lexus LS beltline pic from a few months ago.

I can't believe a truck with a factory lift kit is bigger than one without. Crazy.

I would drive both. GMC is the best looking truck, period

While the new trucks are bigger, the left truck is a foot further up in the parking spot and the picture is taken in front of it. Makes it look much bigger. It's like the guys that extend a fish or deer closer to the camera.

God damnit.

These things were already a bitch to park in these damn straight parking lots.

Evolution is a part of life brah.

That's what made Darwin such a big deal.
