Ahhhh, I misread it as being in general people don't do it because of the lack of regulatory framework.
Yeah, it would definitely be a game changer if the ability to upfit midsized trucks for commercial use became more common.
Maybe with the Ranger and Colorado becoming more common, and...
Although you are technically correct...
Custom fabrication on vehicles is super common here. Engine swaps, suspension conversions (not just lifts, changing the type) bigger or smaller brakes, frame stretching or cutting...
Because of the lack of legal framework to change ratings, there are a...
The vasy majority people I know with older vehicles are my age... I'm 38, with a stupid amount of money in my truck that looks fairly stock.
I've got numerous friends within 5ish years of my age with 70s and 80s Broncos, RHD Rovers, Ford Highboys and bumpsides, 65 Mustang, Boattail Rivera, all...

They interfere with the "normal" "truck things".
It's easy to forget that what seems normal or useful, can be odd or even a hindrance to the average consumer.
I've seen a few in person. You're right, they don't flow like a "regular" fiberglass cap, and they only come in black.
But somehow the two together combine to make a cohesive whole. They actually look better in person.
They don't look out of place, they look like a detail that's intentionally...
My personal uses are such that I need a 3/4 ton sometimes...
I looked a bit at a midsize daily and a 3/4 ton... Turns out that a midsize was almost as much as a half ton, but made some compromises.
But if you could wait a bit and get one of the new Rangers... I've been impressed with them.
A single full sized truck isn't an option?
A midsize truck isn't going to get significantly better mileage than a half ton.
