It needn't have been this tall. With the internal combustion engine out, Ford could have designed a lower, more curved, less deadly front end.

Instead, they kept the high nose and used the space as a trunk. After all, injuring fewer pedestrians sells no cars. Indeed, the market prefers an enormous, deliberately threatening-looking chariot that makes you feel big and virile.

Ford are behind this game in that they haven't given their truck an explicitly hostile name like “People Mulcher”.
