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.
I wish the small commuter truck would come back but it’s a fools dream

I want Aussies to invade and force their utes on us. Basically still fill the function of a pickup for 95% of American pickup owners, but way smaller.
US fuel efficiency rules effectively banned them. The light duty pickups are not coming back, sadly.
I have a 2015 Tacoma, which I love. But I would much rather an ‘84 pickup.
Buddy of mine still drives a 35 year old Datsun diesel…there’s nothing equivalent out there today.
