People obviously want light weight trucks, but govenment regulations prevent them from being sold in the US. This is a great example of how the market is non-free. Blaming the "free market" is completely backwards.

The primary reason that "light weight trucks" aren't available in the US market --- is because selling oversized monstrosities is way more profitable.
