I’m saying the difference isn’t a big as what some people pretend when you’re comparing the same versions.
Short box regular cab vs long box crew cab, that’s what people usually use as a comparison to prove their point even though it makes no sense to do so.
It does make sense, as regular cabs cannot be bought on new trucks. All of them are crew cabs, decreasing their utility and increasing their weight and size.
As far as the general argument. Look at the headlight and start height of a Ford ranger in 2002 vs today.
The problem is you’re arguing against what people have actually experienced, and in cases where they’re in an area with persevered older vehicles on the road, can directly see.
Rangers are now the size of old f150s, f150s are now larger than older f350s. Trucks are just bigger, period. All newer vehicles are just bigger and bulkier than older (90s-00s) vehicles.
Its a massive safety issue, it’s been studied in actual scientific journals, it is a fact you can’t really deny at this point and it’s weird you’re trying to.

Nope, doesn’t make sense at that’s like saying cars got bigger because the Jetta is bigger than the Golf.
As far as headlight height is concerned, again, design difference, total height isn’t that different.

Again, if you look at the actual specs and compare the same types of trucks, no, they’re not that much bigger. Feelings don’t trump facts.
Their hood might be higher, the box encompassing the vehicle isn’t that much bigger than it was back in the day.
Third gen ranger (the one everyone seems the be missing so damn much) dimensions: Length 188 to 203", width 70", height 69"
Current gen ranger: length 211" (+8 vs comparable model), width 75" (+5"), height 73 to 76" (+4" to 7")
Tenth gen F150: length 202 to 239" (+11" for model comparable to current Ranger), width 80" (+5), height 73 to 75" (about the same)
