I've thought that too. If they made a tiny truck, like an old style 90s ranger or tacoma but as an EV? I'd buy that tomorrow. Literally tomorrow I'd go buy it. But of course they don't, they're all these monstrously sized bohemoths that I have no interest in driving.
Until they make my dream tiny truck I'll just go rent one.
In Asia they sell thousands of those Japanese and Korean mini trucks and vans, but they are designed for roads 80kmh and below. In Australia we have the Hilux 2wd utes which are small and bare bones. But for every one of those, Toyota sell 20 HiAce vans.
The Ranger was actually the one I was picturing. One of my friends in high school had one, and we all thought it was so cool. This was in a small town in Texas, so we could all ride in the back, which looking back... yeah, not the best idea. I've heard stories of people getting hurt. So I wouldn't do it anymore. But it was always just a cool truck and I was always a little jealous of her.
Yeah, why not go for anything 90's? Or do you want a stupid driving smart truck?
