The fact that small trucks have gotten bigger is my point. The manufacturers that have kept their trucks small have sold less and less of them. It's because people don't want them.
And the fact that full sized trucks have always outsold small ones is not even debateable. Anecdotal evidence of "I just don't see them on the road anymore" won't hold up against sales figures. The F-150 by itself has outsold all compact trucks combined for as far back as I can find.
And most trucks from 25 years ago, yes are in the boneyard. Only the most reliable, aka Toyotas, can manage to keep on the road.
