What? I just said it may or may not exist. And half the point of the image we are commenting on is that car makers are making excessively large trucks so it’s very possible that such a car isn’t currently being made. I’m just asking you to use 1% of your imagination to imagine a truck that has a full size bed that is neither the Kei nor a monument to man’s hubris. Like a 90s-sized truck.
So if the thing doesn’t exist, why are so adamant that it’s possible…? Do you think maybe it doesn’t exist, since it’s impossible…? No… that can’t be the reason….
It doesn’t really matter whether there’s a market or not, because the main reasons to bemoan these monstrous trucks are that they are bad for the environment, a nuisance on roads and parking lots, and more dangerous for other cars and pedestrians.
I think if the regulatory language is updated to disincentivize the monster trucks, then we’d see a market for the more 90s style trucks.
For some people, the lack of second row would cause them to not get a truck with a full size bed at all, which I don’t see as a problem.

Maybe it doesn’t exist because there’s no market for it? 🤔
Yes, that’s a good assumption. Another possibility is that regulatory language incentivizes car makers to have larger vehicles.

But accidents in Canada are going down even though we but just as many trucks so many the trucks aren’t the issue.
From an environmental perspective, mid size end full size get the same fuel economy.
90s trucks were pretty much exactly the and size, just not as tall.
Crew cab long bed are available on 250/2500 format and up so that’s not what people are buying anyway.
