I really wish two seat utility vehicle format in the spirit of the El Camino would be a thing again. Basically a station wagon size, but with an open bed. These could easily have bed covers in the same shape as a wagon as well, but removable to allow for taller items and a bed that can be hosed out.

The market shifting all in to four door cabs sucks.

They actually have modern El Caminos in Australia. They're called Utes!

Unfortunately Holden (Chevy) has stopped making them in favor of the Colorado, which is basically just a pickup.

Utes (yoots). Short for utility vehicle, which is mostly anything with a bed.

My Cousin Vinny is one of my favorite movies, I am sad I did not get the reference immediately :(

I wonder how hard it would be to modify a Hearse into an open bed?

An angle grinder and a week of free time

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is pretty close. Wish they made it electric.

It is a four door and not significantly smaller than other compact pickups like a Maverick or Ridgeline.

Oh I thought they had two doors. Must have been a concept that I saw.
