I’m almost certain that most of those truck buyers barely use them for anything related to their functionality or for job-related stuff. Otherwise, they would get a proper truck that’s far more superior for those blue-collar jobs (1). I drive quite often and I can’t remember the last time I saw one of these trucks actually loaded with anything. In fact, a lot of times they are even covered. I do love trucks myself and cars in general. I used to have one too, but when it comes to the city, they definitely don’t fit in with their current design. This doesn’t account for reckless drivers. The other day I saw an F350 parking, and I passed from the front side. Only my head was visible and I’m not a short guy. The problem is these trucks keep “growing” and getting bigger with every other model. What’s the end game here? Are we going to see bigger trucks in the coming years?

  Can't import one unless it's at least 25 years old though. Even if someone wanted to build something similar in the US, they probably wouldn't meet efficiency standards in the US because those are tied to the size of the vehicle (yes if you build a bigger vehicle, the mileage can be worse!). I think that change was made in response to the PT Cruiser[1], which was classified as a "Light Truck" to improve Chrysler's CAFE[2] metric. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_PT_Cruiser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_PT_Cruiser 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_average_fuel_economy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_average_fuel_economy
