That's all great if your are backing perfectly straight into a parking spot. Don't you ever have to back in from the aisle? When you back up, the rear
cuts the corner on any truck. This is where a narrower rear end of a truck will have an easier time fitting.
The mirrors width is irrelevant. The mirrors are:
1) Located ABOVE most close tollerance things like cars, posts, etc.
2) Located right by the cab and are very visible to the driver.
3) Located closer to the steering axle so they where you can continuousy control where they are positioned.
4) Breakaway or foldable in most cases.
NOTE: This doesn't mean you cannot survive just fine with a larger truck. It just simply isn't a fact that there is NO difference.
