Yell at the Government about it. It’s their CAFE and Safety regulations underpinning this horse shit. There is a real market for small trucks in this country but automakers who make them can’t sell them here because they don’t fit in the damn formula. It’s the same with cars, the reason things like the 40MPG Honda Civic are gone is because of Government regulation, primarily the ever tighter safety standards which have required cars to get heavier and larger. That kills their fuel efficiency and automakers have exited the car market because unless EVs take off they simply can’t build cars that will meet the future efficiency and safety standards.
I’m not arguing that cars shouldn’t be safe nor am I arguing that gas guzzler should roam free, I’m just pointing out that it’s not that Auto Manufacturers won’t make small trucks or cars because they do…they just can’t fucking sell them in the US.
