I have heard that the reason for this is that trucks in that size range are less regulated by the EPA. Companies didn't want to put in the research to develop trucks that met emissions standards, so they just make them really heavy for no purpose, evading regulations. Take this with a grain of salt, because I've done zero research of my own on it.
I think any truck gets a pass. Even a Honda Civic raised an inch or two, slap a bigger greenhouse on it, and send it on it's way as a CUV.
I suspect the growth spurt has more to do with "tax loophole trucks." I might be wrong on both points.
I'd buy an electric one. I don't need to haul a trailer or anything huge.
