Add to that in heavy slow traffic like a long line going into a car show the exhaust wants to get inside the cab from below.
The exhaust outlets are still more than 3 feet behind the cab - that's a lot more distance from the passenger compartment than your average coupe, sedan or wagon. Beats the heck out of routing exhaust close to the gas tank and/or having to construct heat shields to prevent explosions. And at car shows your biggest exhaust problem will be the guy's rear-exit tailpipes AHEAD of you filling your cab with fumes, lol! ;-)
