If you compare the same type of truck instead of comparing a regular cab mid size truck with a full size crew cab truck, you realize that they're mostly higher than they were before but otherwise their dimensions aren't that much bigger, especially if you compare with the evolution of car sizes. The mk6 Jetta was a subcompact even though it's the same size as a mk5 Passat which was a compact.
