Yeah, and the Maverick is still huge compared to the old Rangers, with half the bed. I understand that I'm probably in a very small market as just a homeowner that likes to do renno projects and furniture building, but I absolutely do not need the passenger space like someone transporting supplies and a crew to a worksite. But it feels like every new pickup coming out is marketed as a minivan with a terrible excuse for a bed attached.

Yeah, I guess when they started mainstreaming crew cabs their market took off and was much more profitable to chase that, with concessions for traditional cabs only for overly long beds.

At least judging from the internet, don't think the market is all that tiny, people have been lamenting the loss of the old S10 and Ranger and such ever since the Colorado and new Ranger launched.

But it looks like Slate believes in that market, but everyone else seems to think that a small truck must have a crew cab. That everyone that needs a 'real bed' won't mind a full size truck.
