People who own pickup trucks but don’t need them for work should be sent to live on the pacific garbage patch.

I don't know why there aren't any small pickups. I used to have a proton jumbuck, little two seater pickup. You could get a ton of wood in the back and it was the same size as a car so you could park it easily. Really useful little thing, but you don't seem to get them anymore.

IIRC it is due to how taxes are related to size and weight classes of trucks in the US

Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz are the closest things available in the US now.

I’d love something the size of a 90s S10

All I want is a LHD Kei truck.
