Modern pickups, to my eyes, look more like cartoons of pickups. The manufacturers (in my mind, especially Nissan and Ford) go out-of-their way to add big, chunky fenders and grills and such. It must sell. And small trucks are disappearing: Ford's Ranger is gone in the US market, and Toyota's Tacoma is now as big as the F150 of a decade or two ago.
