What they call "small" pick ups now are like full size pick ups from 30 years ago.

Seems like there would still be a market for them.

A bunch of building materials come in 4x8 or 12 foot lengths ( drywall,fencing,plywood ), which wont fit the standard 61/2 foot bed on a small truck.
The gmc canyon and the chevy colorado are considered compact.
