I will say large trucks are very comfortable. I think there must be more vertical room so you can sit in a more chair like position. It’s also great for bigger people in general to have wider seats and not have your head not be half an inch from the roof.

I will also note I switch between the family minivan and the large truck frequently and the difference in how other drivers treat you is jarring. In the truck people seem happy to let me in and coexist with me.

In the minivan I’m constantly being cut off or blocked from merging. I have people try to pass me no matter how fast I go.

I've found that trucks tend to be easier to get in and out of than cars.

You're often stepping up into a truck or down out of them rather than sitting down into a car or standing up out of them.

It is an easier motion, that is true.
