The front view from a freight truck is better than that of a f150.

Sure, but as I responded to someone else, show me a viable option that's readily available in the states for a contractor or someone delivering heavy stuff that has the power and 4x4 to do the thing at a reasonable price. I'm all for getting some of these European/Japanese solutions over here, but they simply aren't available or affordable, and so we're stuck with oversized pickups and under powered vans until something changes.
