    You know a lot of the thing about trucks is purely regulatory. Trucks are exempt from a lot of regulations that cost money and they’re huge, both of those things mean more resources going into luxury and such.

    These are vehicles that exist at the intersection of a bunch of different things. It’s wrong to say Americans will only allow companies to sell big, stupid, dangerous trucks. Change the incentives and we’d see a change in what people buy and drive.

      I would trade in my beater truck for one of those Kei Trucks in a second if they were easy to get.
