In the US Trucks were cheaper than most cars up through the early 80’s

My fathers year old diesel 1/2 ton pickup was $200 less in 1979 than an Impala of the same year

Although trucks can be less to assemble than many cars on the market the auto makers are milking the image thing as far as it goes.
