Yes, the paneling choices on modern consumer pickups definitely seek to emulate the aesthetics of a semi-trailer cab. Which is a vehicle that you need a special class of license to operate and can only legally drive on specific roads, even in the US.

    Yeah, I drove one of those as my job for 5 or 6 years. Why anyone would want their personal vehicle to emulate those in any way is beyond me. They suck.

    I occasionally drive large things like lorries, large vans and tractors, and I also cannot fathom why anyone would voluntarily drive something big just to get around.

    I'm very happy with my 40 year old hatchback.
