Just remember that 17's and 20's were laughable with these SAME types of comments
just a few years ago...and they are now OEM and to die for by those more interested
in their fashion statement than towing performance...IMHO
Ditto the insanely taller body sheetmetal...even though their GVWR's
and GAWR's remain basically the same...
Plus...local elementary schools are teaching parents and kids to watch
out for the bulbous nosed pickups...as the driver now can NOT see as
close to their bumpers as before...so do NOT stop at the cross walk line
but keep a bit more distance to avoid that situation...as a too many
times the cross walk guard had to yell at the pickup driver to NOT go
Yeah, insane man....totally insane! Like I can't even figure out how someone could drive of them new fangled tall sheet metal devil vehicles! Lol
And if you step up to trucks built in this century you'll see all the high payload tire choices in the 17-20" range! Actually more like 18-20". 17s have gone the way of 16s which died like 16.5s before them.
Had no problem hauling my big ole camper on a set of factory dubs.
