After all that confusing analogy stuff I kinda wonder when practical will become desirable again.
There are no more small trucks like the older Toyotas and Nissan hard bodies. Unless you needed towing or worked on the heavier side of construction those were enough truck for most city people. Could handle a couple appliances or furniture or whatever a car couldn't.
Those have become midsize. Still plenty enough city truck for most but they don't just whip into any parking spot without much maneuvering or squeeze down narrow alleys like the little ones could.
Full-size has become huge. They won't fit in any normal garage. Like Asa's example about the foot of empty space in front they've ballooned up for no reason other than to look big.
They barely squeeze into a normal parking spot or mechanics shop stall and you can't hardly open the doors.
There's steps all around just to help people get in it.
The bed sides are so high even me as a tall person can't hardly reach something in the bed standing beside it. Got to climb and crawl even on a stock model without any lift or big fancy tires.
They've become impractical. Disfunctional even.
