Over 80% are now trucks and SUVs apparently.

Eh, this is misleading at best. Sales are dominated by crossover garbage that's less of a truck than the PT Cruiser.

Crossovers are more of a truck than sedans were.

I mean, if you just ignore a bunch of they key elements of pickup truck construction (i.e. lie but with some plausible deniability) then sure.

Transverse engine FWD based drivetrains, unibody construction, shared floorpans, key dimensions and platforms with sedans/wagons hatches, all the things that are characteristic of a modern crossover are very much mutually exclusive with the things that are characteristic of a truck or truck based SUV.
