'It’s easy to understand why there aren’t any A tractors in Stockholm, where the public transportation system is extensive and reliable. However, in rural towns they’re a common part of the automotive landscape.'

Actually, they are getting very common in Stockholm and the type of base car is more often a newer more expensive model, like BMW 5 series, Porsche Cayenne, Nissan Navarra etc.

I have even seen an example of a Dodge RAM 1500 EPA.

That Dodge doesn't appear to fit the criteria though - the dual cab is in place which means it seats more than two people and the rear bulkhead is further back than the law allows.
They usually mod them to “close off” the area with extra seats with pipes, mesh or bars. See around 0:28 in this video: https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/halland/gymnasiestudenten-...
