The US drives pickup trucks because there is an IMMENSE tariff on imported ones, so they are disproportionately profitable. (the temporary "chicken tax", don't ask)

That doesn't make sense. A large tariff on imported pickup trucks would cause american manufacturers to sell them for a higher price than if there was no tariff on imports. There would be MORE pickup trucks driven if there was a low or no tariff on them.

Wouldn't there?
