Looks like a car from a dr. Seuss movie

You may not like it, but this is what peak mail performance looks like.

The biggest improvement not mentioned in this video (and part of the reason why it looks so goofy) is that the high roof allows them to fully stand up in the back. Hunching over and picking up boxes is an injury waiting to happen.

Looks like the truck you drew in 1st grade 😂😂

Function over form. These look really iconic too, i think in about ~20 years we will all associate mail trucks to look like this.

These looks like they were seen in illumination Despicable Me minions movies

People comment on its appearance. Obviously, it still looks goofy, but it makes more sense why when you understand the Postal Service Requirements. A 5ft 2 in woman has to be able to see over the hood, and a 6ft 2 in male has to be able to stand up fully inside.

The postal worker lady was right. They definitely didn't have appearance in mind.

They look weird, but someone said the old ones look weird too, we’re just used to seeing them. And honestly they’re not wrong

[tallperson]

Looks goofy, but function over form is the way to go with a utility vehicle.

[josebravo]

This is a lesson in function over form

In dark times like this, I'm glad my friends at the post office gained something with a little whimsy and a lot of heart.

How big should we make the windshield?
YES!

[LuxuryIncorp]

As long as the mail carriers finally get AC, a comfier ride and makes their job easier I’m all for it.

Designed for the needs of a new era. Packages make up a huge volume of the USPS compared to the 90’s. Looks like you can fully stand up inside it. That’s nice!

[xlbbman]

I honestly really like it. It looks like it came out of a pixar movie.

[hammywoods]

This is deadass the trucks they use to deliver air in the lorax 😂😭

[christo]

What in the name of elementary school drawings is that

[alandaters]

It looks like a vehicle designed to WORK! Safety for drivers and the public, efficiency for the vehicle and the employee work, and a comfortable environment for the employee. This truck looks SUPER!

I wonder how much the windshield cost to replace on new vehicles
