Back in my day we just put huge tarrifs on foreign cars to stop them from being imported. Ever wonder why you can get a tacoma or tundra in north america but everywhere else gets the hilux?
There haven't been large tariffs in the US for 100 years.
Small trucks have been tariffed out of the US market since 1964. It's the reason you all drive heavy shitty trucks with 1960s technology.
