Can you give an example? Modern "compact" pickups like the Tacoma are significantly larger than something from 20 years ago like an S10.

A 1995 Tacoma xtracab length was ~ 200 inches. Today's Double Cab is ~ 212 inches. The Tacoma really hasn't changed in length in over 25 years. They have gotten about 10 inches wider in 2004 and a few inches taller (every model is the Off Road height now).

Side note, no one would call a Tacoma "compact". It was a small pickup in 1995 when it was introduced and now people call a 'midsize' truck.
