A 2024 Maverick has a wheelbase of 120" and curb weight of 3600 pounds. In 1991, Ford’s compact pickup, the Ranger, had a wheelbase of just 108" and curb weight of 2800 pounds. “Small” trucks have gained a foot and half a ton. The Ranger itself is now a 5000 pound behemoth that outweighs the 1990 F-150 by 1000 pounds.
Are the smaller trucks like the Maverick not available in your area? Or do you mean something like a Kei truck maybe

To be fair, there’s a lot more safety equipment in cars now than there was in 91
Hell, a civic weighs 3000lb.
