I've got a small pick-up truck, and it's great for me, but nobody makes a good small pick-up for the US market anymore, because of how CAFE standards work.

Currently available small trucks aren't very small and aren't very truck. To get a 6 foot bed, you need to buy a big truck, and a 6 foot bed is IMHO an essential quality of a truck.

The CAFE standards have definitely caused problems. There is the Ford Maverick and the Hyundai Santa Fe now though that are more like what a Ranger or an S10 or a Tacoma used to be 20 years ago, except they're unibody.
I don't mind the unibody, but the very short bed length doesn't work for me.

I think you meant Hyundai Santa Cruz?
