It hasn't moved forward because Congress has to approve it. Just because Puerto Rico wants to be a state doesn't mean they'll be instantly let into the Union. Here's a link to the voting results. Its in Spanish since it's from the biggest newspaper on the island.

The last time there was a plebiscite in 2020, voting on whether to become a state or not, the outcome was for statehood by 52.34%.

Corn, wheat, and other farmers have separate vehicles to accomplish the tasks necessary for their farms, e.g. a combine harvester, seeder, iriggator, etc. I know they also have large spacious trucks as well, but my point is that it is feasible to expect an agricultural business owner, or any buisness owner, to have different commercial equipment for different tasks related to their industry. Besides, whereas all the people who need pickups for their business have them, not all pickup owners need their vehicles for business. I see many, many large pickups parked in residential areas of the city and around the suburbs. The closest most of those people get to agribusiness is going to the grocery store. That's the second point, if you don't absolutely need a large truck for business, you shouldn't use one for your everyday driver. Imagine if big rigs were affordable for most everyone and people used them for daily driving.
