People who don’t need trucks but want them anyway are the main force driving what types of trucks go to market. If it weren’t for that performative nonsense, automakers would go back to their primary market: practical work vehicles, without all the family suv bells and whistles. Therefore, cheaper.
All trucks are not built the same, that’s my point. I want a truck that’s a truck, not a minivan masquerading as a truck.
