Clearly designed by someone who hasn't used a pickup truck to it's real potential.
Yeah, this isn't rocket surgery
Also, yay for an actual work truck, and not one of the weird oversize impractical monstrosities that so many people seem to swoon over these days

I heard a real kicker recently. It was something like
My truck looks like it shouldn't be able to haul it but it can. Yours like it should be able to but can't.
Best instagram roast of a modern truck guy I've ever seen.
They were arguing on a post about that guy's massive grocery getter where he was defending the purchase, as usual.
I thought the roof was attached to the truck and it was like a mobile hangout
Then you could add forklift forks and you have a sideloader!
That thing looks like a contraption I built in besiege or some game like that
It would "work", but it would be aerodynamically unstable so would be limited to low speeds (<~25mph). This is why this configuration is quite common in construction/industry site machinery, where high speeds are unnecessary and unsafe.
But why not make the windscreen the width of the vehicle, maybe wrap it around a bit. Should be similar in aerodynamics?
Because the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

That's one of the few things where the US actually follows most of the world!
You inspired me to fix it:
Points for a non-AI fix.
Amazing
It also looks like it's a Kei car. We don't do smart things like that here.
It may be because a large enough load could quickly block the driver's left-side mirror.
Oooh, another thing is that a heavy enough load may imbalance the vehicle enough to make it unsafe on turns.
Anyone see anything else?
Yeah, non uniform suspension or adaptive suspension might be important.
Probably not a good idea for 70 miles per hour but it might be a kick ass farm truck
That was my first thought. Either the load will make it uneven, or the lack of load will. Also, very weird wind resistence at speed.
But fine at low speed
Large enough load would escape when braking. No wall up front. Add one and visibility goes to shit.
I used to work at a furniture factory and we got all our steel delivered in a truck with this configuration. 8m and 10m lengths on the shortest possible wheelbase. No backseat though.
Yard trucks are just a minor evolution away
Reminds me of this absolute monstrosity
Don't you hate it when you have a genius idea, only to find out someone else thought of it long ago? Nice try, Einstein. Back to the sandbox.
Probably bad aerodynamic. Don't they use something like that on the airport? Since they don't drive far, aerodynamics are probably not that important.
Looks very similar to our yard mules
Beautifully silly
You can get this functionality by driving a hatchback and putting the passenger seat down. Those cars fit way more than you would think.
In a collision, you are much safer if you are facing backwards because your spine aligns with the back of the seat instead of you rag-dolling forwards. So turn those seats around, too. The design is very human.
You joke but this is basically what a vintage British Bus looks like, except the non-cab side is for the Engine.
