Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.

      You and me both. I had a 97 Dodge Dakota Sport, which is barely bigger than my CUV. I miss that thing. I hauler a fridge in it once to help my friend out. Haven’t had a need to haul a fridge since, but still, never know when a truck bed will come in handy lol. I just hate that the smallest size now is enormous. Even “sport” models are what used to be standard size anymore.

        Sport/compact trucks these days seem like they’re really the same size, just with rounded off styling so you get less useful space

        The way I’d see them coming back is if we improved on electric vehicle design to make it efficient for the size without losing safety or affordability especially long term.

      I have a 2015 Tacoma, which I love. But I would much rather an ‘84 Toyota pickup.

        My deep dream is a revival of the El Camino but with current or next gen electric motors. Small with a bed for hauling larger items without the issue of fuel efficiency

      Buddy of mine still drives a 35 year old Datsun diesel…there’s nothing equivalent out there today.
