It's government regulations that made trucks get this big, most people simply buy what is available in the form factor they like.

Lots of Americans want smaller trucks. I just saw a Netflix show where a main character prized his old Toyota pickup. This is also evidenced in the importation of Japanese "K-car" trucks.

I agree! I believe I said similar in my above comment. I'm looking into getting one myself, though I'm apprehensive about purchasing a car built in 99 without being able to test drive or inspect it.


"Kei cars". It's a Japanese word, not "kay is how we pronounce the letter K".
