I am not a fan of full size pickups and how many are used for normal commuting purposes. I'm even less of a fan of bad statistics. You quote the Ford F series is the most crashed vehicle and responsible for 25% of fatal crashes involving pickups. The F is also the most sold vehicle in the US and holds 34% class market share. So the stats you quote don't inform us at all about safety issues inherent in the F series.
The thing that bugs me is that these high hoods are an entirely aesthetic choice. Actual commercial vehicles often have much more sloping hoods. These tall hoods just look cool, I guess.
