> But everyone is building them not just American manufacturers

But for, and driven by, the American market.

I would hazard a guess that Silverados sold outside of US, Canada, Mexico and Australia can fit in a single parking lot.



The homemarket websites for Mecedes (Geländewagen), BMW (X series), LandRover (defender), Toyota (LandCruiser, Lexus LX), etc. have the large SUVs for sale. They are not as popular as they are in the US but they are available.


"Not as popular" or "nowhere near as popular?"

Also, our absurd pickups effectively don't exist in those markets. Occasionally you'll see one and it stands out like a sore thumb.


Parent suggested or intimated that their sole market was the USA.


Maybe I misinterpreted, but I think they meant that if the American market didn't exist, neither would most of those models.
