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

    What may change is younger demographics having lower interest.

      I have an alternative to the pick-up trucks currently in production. Smaller pick-up trucks. They’re only that large as a legal loophole around regulation of the ratio of mileage to vehicle footprint. I’d add a source but I can’t find the video I saw a couple of months ago.

        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
