Something I’m not seeing mentioned here: I read somewhere (though i can’t find it) that we don’t have small trucks in the US because fuel economy standards are based on wheelbase. That’s why you can’t take an F-150 and put it on a smaller frame and sell it in the US. But many of us want one! I’d love a half-ton truck the size of a 80s Tacoma… I could use some help fact-checking though. I was digging around for primary sources but it’s tough reading…
