@notjustbikes as a person who owns a modern "small" truck, I agree with everything you say here. I haul lots of bulky light things for work. My old Honda Element was perfect, but when it died there was nothing available except for a truck to replace it with. They have literally stopped making or selling that class of vehicle where I live. (Small city in rural US state) Yes cargo vans exist, but they are prohibitively expensive even used due to high demand and lack of supply.
