I know several people who, like myself, used to drive small pickups and now drive midsize ones. We would prefer to drive small ones, but they don't make them anymore. Among people who are willing to restore old vehicles, some small trucks are becoming classics.

They can't sell small trucks in the US because of the Chicken Tax: https://fee.org/articles/chicken-tax-makes-trucks-expensive-and-unavailable/ https://fee.org/articles/chicken-tax-makes-trucks-expensive-...

  Don't pretty much all overseas car companies build vehicles for the North American market in North America these days? That would make the tariff point moot. My "Japanese" mid-sized truck that's bigger than I really need it to be was built in Mississippi.

    Actually, lots of cars are made in foreign countries, namely Mexico and Canada, but automakers like Ford and GM.

      Notice how I said "North America", not "The United States"? Thanks to NAFTA, you distinction is largely irrelevant in terms of tariffs.
