For work, I drive an F-350 diesel with a work-bed full of tools and supplies, and a ladder rack. It's a bit nerve-wracking driving through city side streets, especially with pedestrians. It's 22 feet (6.7m) long. Across the tow mirrors is 8.5 feet (2.6m). It probably weighs 4 tons. Yet people happily choose to drive bigger vehicles as commuter cars!

What common commuter vehicle do you imagine here exactly? I’m riding 2.5 Ton full-frame SUV and struggle to see anything much more than a solid 3-ton vehicle.
