Not quite. There has been a systemic push to grow the size of US vehicles. Why can you not find ANY small trucks? It’s NOT because every American that wants a truck wants a big one.
This isn’t a conspiracy in the loonie sense. It’s completely true, though it was a conspiracy to manipulate the market, which succeeded. It started with the Chicken Tax.
Poorly executed vehicle efficiency requirements based on vehicle footprint ended up as a pressure for larger vehicles as well, which led to the rise in SUVs and oversized puckups.
I think you misunderstood what a light truck is . All pickups are in this category.
A tariff on imports is hardly forcing American manufacturers and consumers to prefer bigger trucks and cars. They could just make them smaller if the smaller versions sold better.
The purpose of the tariff is:
to give US domestic automakers an advantage over imported competitors
Look further into it. It’s extremely true that it was deliberate market manipulation. It started with the Chicken Tax. That was far, far from the only contributing factor.
