Farmers in the US are getting sick of paying $80,000 for super-sized trucks that won't even fit into their barns.

They've been importing mini-trucks from #Japan that do the job and cost a lot less.

As Jeff Wood of @TheOverheadWire points out: "Japan taxes vehicles by size and engine displacement annually which has led to a lot of these smaller work trucks and vans. I often wonder what would happen if we taxed vehicles by weight or size as trucks and cars are getting ridiculously huge and dangerous to cyclists and pedestrians."
