What happened to small trucks?

What really happened to small trucks is they grew up and are now full grown.

Is that part of the expanding universe theory?

IMHO a problem with today's full sized pickup is they're too big for most parking spaces.
Most older pickups from the 60s and 70s didn't have club cabs with jump seats or 4 door double sized cabs.
Another problem is many folks probably need a lesson or two on how to park some of these larger platformed pickups.

Many people need to learn how to DRIVE some of these larger pickups... then again too many seem to feel that because they drive more than they can handle, the rest of us should accomodate them.

You guys REALLY want to go back to the very basic small trucks?

Yes, they really sucked. By my standards a "standard" cab truck is about worthless to me. I would never own one again.

Ah, yes - parking! I live in the middle of the city, and drive an F1 50 super crew. It has a backup camera, and I could not do without it. One of the best innovations on a vehicle that they ever made!

I agree it is very worthwhile. I have it on the Chrysler minivan, wish I had it on my truck. The park assist is helpful and good, but the camera is better.

And the camera is just perfect when you are by yourself backing up to a trailer - no more guessing!
