The discourse around this thing is hilarious. For years people have been saying “I just want a small, simple truck with no frills and a reasonable price.”
Now, one is finally available, and all the commentary is “Oh, I’m in the target market for this, but I just need them to add:”
- more room for passengers
- more payload
- an infotainment screen for nav
- more room in the bed
- more towing capacity
- screens in the seats for kids
- an app to “manage” it
Guess what! This is why the best-selling vehicles are large trucks, because they give the most people what they want.
Everyone wants a small and cheap and simple car with all the comforts of big and expensive cars. Reality doesn’t work that way!

Nobody uses more than 20% of the features in Word or Excel, but nobody uses the same 20%, so it's basically a useless observation. You can't just chop 80% of the features out and still end up with a widely-used product. They can't sell a vehicle in the US market without a screen, in any case, due to the need for a backup camera.
