The GMC Canyon was named by Consumer Reports as having no pedestrian detection features.
Jalopnik has written about the danger of growing pickup trucks for a while now, but yet another in-depth report from Consumer Reports has highlighted the dangers of our eternally-growing pickup trucks.
CR measured front visibility for 15 new full-sized and heavy-duty trucks and found that some trucks could have blind spots that measured 11 feet longer than the blind spots in sedans and seven feet longer than a lot of popular SUVs. The site didn’t offer numbers, but it did note that children are particularly susceptible to being hit by larger trucks. Even adults can be hard to see in a truck.
