I can’t believe I missed this photo of your “over capacity” truck carrying less than the rated capacity of the cars you insisted were too small and a photo of what looks like loose pine needles.
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.
Yes, that’s a good assumption. Another possibility is that regulatory language incentivizes car makers to have larger vehicles.
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.
