    People who have trucks love them. That ain’t changing.

    What may change is younger demographics having lower interest.

    That being said, trucks are super useful. I very much doubt we see them go away unless there is a real viable alternative. SUV/CUVS could trend downwards in a few years I think.

      I have an alternative to the pick-up trucks currently in production. Smaller pick-up trucks. They’re only that large as a legal loophole around regulation of the ratio of mileage to vehicle footprint. I’d add a source but I can’t find the video I saw a couple of months ago.

      I know a bunch of people who really want smaller trucks. The Ford maverick sold out pretty quickly.
