    “Light trucks” (in the US, at least) don’t have to meet the same fuel economy standards as passenger automobiles, the latter of which includes SUVs. So you build a massive luxury crew cab with a tiny, essentially useless bed, and you can emit more pollution than if it had a permanent “cover” and connected the passenger cabin with the cargo area.
