" Most people who own trucks never haul anything in them. They just ride around in them."

That's not true. It's simply a claim. The ones that buy them and don't use them to haul are a minority. That's from both the sales and repair industries. If your claim comes from personal observation, you need to realize that you didn't check the bed for evidence of being used for hauling. Most people don't load up their truck and drive around with that load 'till the truck wears out. How many flatbed trailers have you seen crusing around empty?

Here's a link listing full size cars. Toyota has an Avalon. Camry is somthing else, midsize, or intermediate.

Believe what you want. People are driving SUVS and trucks because they are in style (its a fad). Most people do very little hauling of any kind (maybe a few times a year). People could drive station wagons or mini-vans if they really wanted to and they would provide the hauling capicity that most people say they need, but those vehicles are not in style any more.
