    Remember when Hummer came out with a consumer SUV back in the early 90s? I remember thinking they were gigantic and too big for the roads/parking spots. Quick search tells me the wheel base was 130inches (3.3m or 10.8ft). Here it is completely in a parking spot.

    A modern F250 supercab with an 8-foot bed is 175.9in (4.5m / 14.7ft). A 6.75-foot bed, the wheelbase is 147.8in (3.75m / 12.3ft). I wish we could go back to the days of the Hummer…

      I remember when they first came out, someone tried to take an H2 down this narrow one way brick road with high curbs in our town, and managed to wedge himself in between the curbs completely stuck, threatening to shed his sideways if he went forward of backwards

      It’s an old geezer’s car compared to a stadium super truck, if they were street legal…
