When a large truck is driving in your left mirror blind spot, it is often referred to as being "in your blind spot" or "in the truck's blind spot." This area is where the driver of the truck cannot see vehicles in adjacent lanes due to the size and structure of the truck. It is important for drivers to be aware of these blind spots to avoid potential accidents when changing lanes or merging. Always check mirrors and look over your shoulder before making maneuvers to ensure safety.
When passing a large truck, it's crucial to ensure you have ample visibility and space. Check your mirrors and blind spots, and signal your intention to change lanes. Accelerate smoothly to pass quickly but safely, and avoid lingering in the truck's blind spots. Once you've safely passed, signal again and return to your lane only when you can see the truck in your rearview mirror.

The center of gravity of the truck
You have to know the answer already. The large truck is heavier of course.
From the center of steer axle to center of rear axle on trailer. If you want just the truck it's the center of steer axle to center of rear drive axle.
There were three other contenders for pick up trucks that retain their value over time. The others, apart from the Dodge pickup are; the Toyota Tacoma, which is a compact truck, the Ford F-150 which is a large light truck and the Ford super Duty F-350 truck which is a large heavy duty truck.
