Half the size of a pickup truck… a Mazda compact, or a jacked up GMC Hemi half ton?

Even just saying Ford F150 gives a lot of leeway.

They're about the size of a large flat screen TV. I have no idea why they reached the pickup trucks, they might have the width but they're only a couple of inches thick. A flat screen is a much better analogy.
