Another overlooked issue.
Safety and the slippery slope.

The classic toyota/datsun/luv had a very small passenger compartment. Didn't do well in the crash tests.

Slippery slope time.

To make them safer in crash test, you make it an extended cab or crew cab.
Once you do that, and add all the first world luxury stuff buyers demand, your price point is very near a full size truck.

Once the price point is in the f150 zip code, and gas is cheap, the US will buy the f150's

The f150 has been the best selling vehicle in the US for a very long time.
