Yeah, “light trucks” also includes full size vans, minivans, SUVs. Which is a big reason why there are so many of those on the road: manufacturers don’t have to meet the same fuel economy or safety standards as passenger cars.
This is why full size pickups are getting bigger. Each year the regulation requirements adjust so manufacturers adjust to avoid the to comply. This is why the incoming 2024 Toyota Tacoma is roughly the same size as full sized pickups in the 90’s.
