Those are midsized. I would say Hyundai is the only one with the Santa Cruz, and that's not really a truck.
Edit: I stand corrected, I had assumed the maverick was rwd/awd, not fwd/awd. I'm going to amend my statement and say the maverick is also not really a truck. I consider having the drive wheels under the payload to be an important aspect of a truck. Not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things.
The Santa Cruz is absolutely a truck. It even has a 3500lb towing capacity. Plus it's only 4in shorter than the Maverick.
The Santa Cruz is exactly as much as a truck as the Ford Maverick is (which is to say, they're both unibody vehicles).
