@pruwybn As I explained when I quoted this, our trucks genuinely weren't always massive like this, neither were our cars in general. I'm using this example because it's just on my brain right now, but a stock S10 from any year they were made in the US, is going to be significantly smaller and with a lower hood line than a stock Colorado you can pick up off the lot right now.That is really sad, we went from actively shrinking things down in the early '80s with the likes of the K-cars which saved Chrysler from their first bankruptcy and the early minivans which were derived from the K-cars, which flew off the lots as well, btw, the early minivans were a revolution, basically, right back to making hulking beasts that no one really wants.
