I think you missed my point, which was that there are no small trucks being sold in the US these days. There are only mid-sized - the ones of similar size to the Tacoma, which you call small - large, and super-sized.

A small truck would be something in the size & weight range of the '70s Toyota SR5, which IIRC came in around 2500 lbs, compared to the 2010 Tacoma which is pushing 4000.
