Right? The mid size truck is now the size of a full size from 15 years ago.
Had an 84 Toyota pickup, can confirm that thing would be classified as a compact car nowadays. Funny thing, it had a longer bed than many current full size truck.
I have this weird little vehicle from the 1980's. I can best describe it as a Japanese Jeep. It wasn't ever a "big" vehicle, but seeing it next to a modern truck is jarring.
The best part is, I know from direct repeated personal experience that the 60 horsepower 4wd can go more places than a typical 4wd truck.
EDIT: Also, the truck in this picture is a 2004-2008, a 2023 is even bigger...
That's super cute
That thing is cool AF.
