I hate to say it EM, but Amuricans have been indoctrinated well on truck ownership.
We HAD access to small trucks but they didn't sell- have you noticed the pickup truck horsepower and capacity race, all so that the solo commuter can drive all over creation with 6000 lbs of ballast instead of 4000?
