Them bumpers don't line up and the wheel well of the "modern" one is taller than the hood and bed.

MODERATORS
I don’t want to disrupt the circle jerk but those are two different models so this is not an apples to apples comparison. This is like comparing someone’s Subaru Outback to a Cadillac Escalade. Those are both SUVs but the Escalade is much bigger than the Outback. I’m not saying that trucks haven’t become giant monstrosities in recent history but this is a misleading post. If you compare a Ford Ranger or Tacoma from 20 years ago, it has gotten larger but it’s still a modest sized pickup truck in 2025.
I am a contractor and drive a pick up for work, it’s big and dumb.
Of course those are 2 different models? How does that make this insanity any less fitting?
I mean, sure, comparing the smallest (or 5th percentile), median and largest (95th) truck of one time to those of another time would be more truthful etc. But this is not a quantitative study, it is a meme, and it gets the point across perfectly.

My condo building can’t even feet these fuckers in our parking spots. We’ve had to ban certain residents from parking here because of those trucks
I don't think I'd call that progress.
I think in this context it's talking about "industry progress" which just means "whatever path the industry has taken"
It's evolving, but backwards
Evolution doesn't have a direction. Being big is helping these trucks breed faster, so they're becoming more prevalent.
Former mechanic here, the commenter isn't entirely wrong either, saw a lot more cooling issues on newer trucks, anecdotally of course.
