Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid's heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.

2021 RadPower Radrunner 2, a 2018 Chevy Bolt, and a 2008 Dodge Sprinter that runs on used cooking oil. The sprinter smells of fish and chips when I actually need that capacity of carry ability.

Even the Sprinter's hood is at least a foot and a half, if not two feet lower than that monstrosity, and I can shove way more into it than that thing can carry. I know because I have used it to move 10 ton loads of river rocks for a friend that was removing their lawn.

No, they are electric battery powered. In my particular case, solar powered.

Also should have been 2021 not 2001
