At the time the law was passed, the carve out was for work trucks which made a minority of the market. Possibly less than 10%, but they also put tariffs on the light trucks imported from Asia, and so now almost 30 years later we have the situation we’ve got now.
We need to revoke the tariffs on the light trucks for normal people.
Also make it so you have to have a business licence to buy them, and a CDL to drive these “work trucks”
Isuzu still has a light truck division, and the Asian market still has loads of smaller vehicles, we just need to get off this “tank obsession” here in the US

Does anyone make light trucks anymore? Even Toyotas are 3x bigger than they used to be.

In Europe we have vans, they use barely more fuel than regular cars (at least until the really big ones) and can be used for just about any trade.
We also need to get rid of the chicken tax
Those damn chickens ruining light truck imports.
