Never thought my truck felt "small". Now that it's got a lift, I love how it not only looks, but drives. Its got a bad-*** presence now IMO.

 

This is stock, with 35's. I dont see how you feel an F150 towers over you....

 

Your truck is quite modified from stock ride height, so irrelevant to the original poster's concern. That stock half-ton GM truck doesn't sit up much, though.

 

It feels weird when I stand up on my Suzuki DrZ 400s in traffic.

Feel super tall and naked.

 

I got my bike license at a state-run course. The entire fleet was Honda Rebel 250's. I'm 6'5" and the bike felt like something for a little kid. The instructor nicely pulled out a Dr200 from somewhere and that is what I took the course on and passed the test on. At least it sat up higher than the Rebels.

Of course in NH you can get a bike permit just by passing a written test, which allows you to ride locally. So it felt pretty weird riding my Harley Road King down to the course, only to have to switch to the Dr200, and "learn" how to use a clutch and change gears. But the insurance discount from taking the course was all worth it.

 

I'll be watching for you Buliwyf. The F-350 is so small the wife won't drive it... something about not being comfortable in traffic. She won't even back it out of the garage at home.

 

No, I'm not crazy (well, no more than spending four days/nights at a time in it causes), and it's not so much a concern as it is something I've notices. In my line of work I see a LOT of duallies, and was just pointing out that it "feels" kind of small (I'm 6'4" BTW). When a 150 or 1500 passes me on the left, it feels like their hood is a bit higher than mine, too.
troverman, I think you might have hit on it - I had a 2012 F250 6.2L CCSB that felt "bigger". I think the shape of the hood made it feel taller, too.

Coming back from North Carolina the other day, I caught up to a guy with a (I'm guessing) 2015 KR dually. No tailgate, but he had a really nice tool box across the back with a notch in it for the fiver pin to clear. From the rear, that truck looked like a monster.
Maybe it's the difference between looking "at" and looking "from".

On a different note: I achieved 13mpg towing a TT yesterday, and 19.7 mpg empty. Of course I was driving 55-60 mph too.

 

You know that Ford put a ton of effort into making the Super Duty subconsciously smaller feeling?

The giant headlights and taillights are designed to make the truck look smaller. Park a Tacoma 20 feet away and a Super Duty 30 feet away and look.

The electric steering wheel. The location of the switches. The seating position. The '04 Mustang feeling windshield. The stereo system constantly, almost silently, whispering words of small things: "Ants, M&M's, atoms, germs, egos of dodge owners, grass, pebble, 3.55 gears....."

 

None of this makes a 2017 dually sit any higher than it actually does.

 

I was waiting to see how long it took for someone to say that.
Its obvious sarcasm from the OP...or is it?

 

It's not sarcasm at all. The OP has a dually, which sits a bit lower than the SRW trucks. 90% of you guys have SRW trucks and think they're "huge." Well, the SRW trucks do sit up pretty high. Otherwise, the SRW trucks are the same 80" wide as any other full size truck on the road today.

 

What truck do you drive? Not many trucks make my '17 4x4 F350 (not lifted) feel small.

 

In case you can't see my sig, it's a 2017 F350 Lariat 4x4 CCLB dually.

And for all you non-believers out there, I happened to park next to a completely unmolested F250 XLT today and here's what I saw:


The photos don't show it very well, I suppose, but the mirrors are higher, etc.

 

I parked my 250 CCSB FX4 next to a '17 350 CC 2wd dually last night while out to dinner with my wife. I saw it in the lot and purposely parked next to it. It was quite dark so no pictures but my truck sits noticeably higher. The wife even commented about the difference in height. Her only complaint about the truck is its an effort for her to get in/out of. The opposite of my car which is very low. She commented that the dually would be her preference for height.

 

Silly question, but is everyone taking wheel size and tire height into consideration? The ones rolling on 20s have more ground clearance and will thus be sitting higher. Just throwing that out there.
