is it capture by Ford and GM? Are there even trucks as small as the Nissans that had the 2400 motors (or 2600)? I live near enough texas that every truck is way too big, so i don't see many new, small trucks. A lot of people have the old, nearly all metal, small trucks.
Right, because the EPA has made them illegal in favor of larger, less fuel efficient trucks. This paper covers the topic well^, you can also see many examples searching online for “EPA Small Truck Footprint”.

you'd think the https://www.nhtsa.gov/ would have something to say about regulations encouraging increased "box height" or grille height; which results in worse outcomes in nearly all accidents (could be all, but i don't feel comfortable asserting that.)
sorry it took me five days to notice you replied.
