And the Toyota is likely a 1-ton model, meaning it can haul more weight in its bed than the Ford. One of my first jobs was at a delivery company and we used a lot of these little Toyota and Isuzu trucks because they could get into smaller locations easily and they could haul more weight.

This bullshit is because they want these pickups to be "multi purpose"

Its now a family vehicle! Take your kids to school and go straight to work after!
Safer in crash tests since you decimate sedans!

Go to BJs or Costco and load up on all the toilet paper you want!!
See even farther down the road with higher and brighter headlights! Sedans will let you pass when you blind them with these touchlights!

The growth of truck/SUV size is largely due to EPA regulations with a "footprint" clause that allows larger vehicles to have less strict efficiency requirements. Kind of counterintuitive, really
