If you put a Dodge Ram in front of a Commodore or other Ute, would it really be that much bigger? They look bigger because they have a walled bed instead of a flat bed.
But I agree on the "American rejects," part. Dodge (and Jeep, which is owned by Dodge) are unreliable pieces of shit. Also they'd be smaller if it wasn't for the US CAFE standards. You literally can't buy smaller 90s-style trucks here (even though there's a demand for them) because they don't fit environmental standards 😖
