Why does literally nobody make a midsize truck anymore? >B-but

>>15714206
just buy an older ford ranger its not like they dont exist

>>15714206
But its not you kike.
Get a tacoma or older ranger or canyon.

neg
that's only to do with imports. CAFE is based on vehicle footprint so small or midsized trucks have impossible fuel economy standards, that is why even the smallest pickups are fuckhuge by old standards

Wait wait wait
So pic related can get 19mpg on its best day, but if you put a bed on the back of it, its illegal?

>>15714440
They regulate the average MPG of every car sold by the make. Very few Vipers are sold, so the Dart makes up for it more than enough. Meanwhile, pickups are the best sellers in each American brand that makes a pickup.

>>15714481
So?
There is no reason a modern light truck cant get 30+mpg
Its not hard to do

>>15714206

The Coloraydo isn't thaaat big, at least compared to a fulll sized modern truck. If you think it's too big maybe a truck isn't for you.

Vehicles aren't going to get any smaller anytime soon so you might as well live with it.

>>15714206
no market
anything smaller than a "midsize" an suv can do.

I thought I was the only one bothered by this

>>15714534

I'm really hoping this happens soon and they quit it with the tax nonsense.

I get 27 in my 93 Toyota in mixed driving (32 on freeway at 55 mph), I think they can do better 20+ years later.

But then you could also get 50 mpg in a civic 25 years ago and now the Prius is hardly better

>>15714534
>There is no reason a modern light truck cant get 30+mpg
There are plenty of reasons, you know nothing about cars it seems, either that or you think a light pickup based on a car chassis like a crossover SUV is a sellable product

>>15714784
>There are plenty of reasons
And these reasons are?
Go ahead Mr. Knowitall

Oh?
Cuz this truck gets 31mpg.
So make it smaller and lighter and itll get 35.

>>15714789
Gladly, stupid. First of all, trucks have shit aerodynamics even with the huge airdams and rounded off front ends that you see today. Trucks are also are RWD or 4WD, a much more lossy drivetrain configuration than a FWD car based crossover. Also, "trucks" based on car chassis have historically sold EXTREMELY poorly in the US market, which makes them not worth investing in.

Do the math you nigger, a ford ranger is literally 10% smaller than a new colorado

224.9" is 10.4% longer than 203.6"

A truck the size of your '02 ranger built and sold in 2016 must get 34MPG combined by current CAFE standards. See the table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Average_Fuel_Economy#Agreed_standards_by_model_year.2C_2011-2025

What? It wouldn't be difficult for you to make a truck like your ranger get the same fuel economy as a Fusion? Why aren't you designing cars? Men like you are in demand!
