Omg. Theres more ads than content in that link haha. I cant stand big cars. I wonder if one day they won't be worth much because people get sick of them

People who have trucks love them. That ain't changing.

What may change is younger demographics having lower interest.

That being said, trucks are super useful. I very much doubt we see them go away unless there is a real viable alternative. SUV/CUVS could trend downwards in a few years I think.

I know a bunch of people who really want smaller trucks. The Ford maverick sold out pretty quickly.

It’s insane to me that the modern Ford Ranger is bigger than a 90s F150. There’s absolutely a market there that’s only served by people buying used

It's NOT American preference. It's NOT auto makers. It IS govt regulation... Stupid CAFE garbage!
