The front end of the new GM pickups looks like the broad side of a barn. Sure glad the manufacturers successfully lobbied to replace sealed beam bulbs with composite ones to facilitate those low, sloping, aero front ends. Now we get these nice (sarcasm), expensive yellowing plastic P.O.S. instead of inexpensive glass units that retain like-new performance over their entire working lives.

I'm wondering if the driver of said pickup could see a sedan or coupe in front of them? Maybe it's equipped with rear AND forward vision cameras.

"Dysfunction"- Ha Ha, function has little to do with this. It's about cylinder count, high "H-Point", how chicken isht the owner is, and how small the owner's gonads are. They already have the motorized running boards; I'm waiting for them to introduce the ingress/egress integrated escalator.
