There is a high tariff on imported pickups that effectively keeps smaller, cheaper pickups off the US market, so US makers don’t need to make one to compete.

Tariffs are indeed the best way to raise money for the federal government, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have some negative effects.

I know. I tried to order a Toyota Tacoma the way I wanted it and found I cannot. They fly off the lot so fast they won't take a bare truck order. You get what they give you or you don't get.

I've been hoping for the Ranger or S15 to return. I had an Isuzu that ran out of life at 375,000 miles after 25 years. Best darn little truck ever! Of course that was why they stopped making them for US sale. They were too good.
