All I want is a 4-cylinder with around 150 HP and a stick shift. Why doesn’t anyone make small pickups anymore?! Some of us want a bed to put stuff in but don’t care about towing 15,000 pounds.

Because of economies of scale and supply and demand.

Most people don’t want manuals and small trucks originated from Japan before they eventually faded away due to the emissions regulations.
