Yes, there are different sized trucks for different use cases. Yet, larger trucks became the norm and smaller trucks essentially disappeared. Did everyone start hauling more? Somehow I doubt it.

I have a big truck. I got it to haul our travel trailer, but we don't have our trailer anymore. I would love to downsize but there aren't a lot of options these days. I would love it if Chevy brought back the S-10. They stopped selling it 20 years ago, around the time everyone started to convince themselves that they needed a half ton or larger truck.

But they're driven by the same kind of people.
