I miss the 02 S10 I had — paid $5k for it used, was damn near unbreakable. 5 speed manual, did everything I needed.
It’s the same trend that’s been around in our culture decade after decade “bigger is better”. The same trend of trucks is the same trend powering everyone and their mother buying an SUV whether they need it or not.
Even the new 2022 Ranger is comically oversized for anyone that remembers what a real light duty truck was supposed to be about. Safety regulations aside, people want to cram as much luxury shit as possible into these things thinking they need it.
I miss barebones, small low tech trucks that you could beat the hell out of, but still maintain and use for 15 years without a problem.
