The posts on each side of the windshield are approx. 6" wide and restrict the drivers visability serverly. My son and I have similar truck Dodge truck models and we have had several near accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles. My most recent near collition was with a railroad locamotive at an ungated crossing. Luckly another driver alerted me to the locamotive and I saw it in time. However it was complely hidden from my view by the post. I have owned Dodge trucks for the past 23 years with over 700,000 miles of service and have always found them reliable an safe.
