On the Bing page today.... I'm picturing a lifted truck with 20 sets of towing mirrors and a light bar capable of illuminating a small city.

I could only find 'flathatting' references to airplanes flying extremely low. Nothing referring to pickup trucks?

May come in handy in the AZ valley where in a normal vehicle you can't traverse a road dip during a rainstorm.

The Chevrolet accessory for the Colorado, I believe was to move the air intake up out of the dirty air stream. If you go in that much water there are bigger problems.

Bear in mind that the hod-rodded 32 fords and such that we now consider awesome example of vintage automobilia .... were at the time ridiculed by the guys our age as asinine examples of teenage douchebaggery
BTW, I was pretty sure that term was invented in our upstate NY bar about 15 years ago. Along with Waggonwheeling and Corndooring ... both of which have far more innocent origins than you might think. |

I’ve heard that it’s to avoid splashes. We had big rains out here on Thanksgiving, and I drove my Yukon through a parking lot that was flooded up to the curbs. (About 5 inches.). The waves of water flew well above hood level.

Safari Snorkels are the "go to" product down here. Sold world wide I believe. Some are only used on school mum run cars of course but if you need a massive 4WD to go and take the kids to school, there must be something wrong in their heads anyway. Take a look: https://www.safari4x4.com.au/

I'm confused why you care what other people do with their side mirrors? How does it affect you? Seriously who cares if they fold out their mirrors?

I will give you an example:
A few days ago I stopped by a gas station to fill up a small gas can. I parked my truck so the pass. side was by the pumps - trying to be courteous to other customers as most fill necks are on the drivers side. As I filled my can, another truck pulled in to use the pumps on my drivers side. He had his mirrors fully extended and his pass. mirror was less than 6 inches from my door glass prohibiting me from opening my door. I simply folded his mirror back hard enough to make a loud crack and got in my truck. He was not happy but elected not to pursue the issue - maybe he learned something. |

A lot of these kids are buying the trucks used, they probably came with the mirrors. I mean if you shop for a big diesel it's probably going to have tow mirrors on it.
