Look at that tiny door. If it was suicide door style like it used to be, that’d be cool, but nope, here’s this goofy looking thing. Also, dealership websites are where 90s Geocities designers went to, because that’s the only way I can explain all the dings and bells and chat boxes popping up.

The need for a structural B-pillar has made this a thing. I a gree that they look hella goofy.

Yeah, I figured it was for structural reasons. But there has to be a better way.

I feel like the entire thing is a design mess, honestly Ford has made the best looking truck in my opinion for a long time, probably a decade

A better integrated door handle would help a lot. If they hid it in the window trim it’d look better.

You might as well put “Hector is a bitch” on the little door because he’s the new guy and is already getting hazed at the jobsite.

A suicide door would be so much better for daily use.

One negative of a traditional suicide door layout is that you need to open the primary doors to access the rear, which can be a pain sometimes, especially if tend to carry more passengers around. Have 4 traditional doors at least means you don’t have that issue.

However, the positives of that clamshell door configuration is that you have big open access to get cargo into and out of the cab.  As shown below with the F150 supercab.  And as you mentioned, looks a bit smoother.

Minivan buyers are killing trucks. Back seats in trucks don’t just make the trucks look stupid, they are just plain old  stupid.

Ford manages without a B pillar, but how much better is the GM in a crash? Other trucks that still have suicide rears also include the Tacoma, Colorado, and Ranger (Frontier as well but that’s so old I don’t count it).
