Correct.

I doubt we'll see any of those or other small, unibody trucks so long as the Chicken Tax is still in effect.

The Chevy Avalanche is another one, if you want to consider it a truck.

Grandpa wants a Ridgeline, although I don't know why he wants a truck other than out of habit. He mentions the ability to take the garbage down to the trash can with the bed, but he doesn't take out the garbage anymore. The fuel economy should be better considering the size of the truck.

I'd like to get grandpa a car that has active steering and braking since his vision is going.

Sounds like he needs a "red-neck" chauffeured wagon.
