Trucks are excessively large. Especially the front ends.

Yet Ford did away with the Excursion 20 years ago because it was "too big."

Actually it's not. The Expedition and Excursion were in production at the same time. They just did away with the

Wasn't the Excursion built on the Super Duty chassis?

Yes, it was much larger than the Expedition.

Yep. The Mitsubishi Mirage is the last small ICE car, and it's being canceled

Americans also hate driving small cars so I’m not sure the market would be there

Hopefully. Giant pickup trucks are a menace

The median size of a house in the US in the 60's was 1,500sf. Today it's 2,800sf in UT. Much of the increase in housing
