Your memory is correct. Just about all car makers had small trucks in the 80s. Mazda even had the B2000 in the early 2000’s (rebadged and resold by Ford as well). Auto manufacturers have just gotten addicted to that sweet brodozer profit margin since then.

Lol, yea, that's what I was thinking, 80's and 90's.
