In my country, you would'nt even be allowed to drive it with a passenger car licence, as it exceeds the max weight for that.
You can't drive it in most of Europe because of the hood height and the fact that all angles of the cars bodywork are sharp. UK has minimum "sharpness" laws for instance
American here, just confused by what you mean? Crossovers with a tiny bed?
I think what they’re getting at is that so many trucks in North America are designed as passenger vehicles first and trucks second. Like, I’ve heard that it can be a struggle to get a two-seater with an 8ft bed and cloth seats but if you want a four-door luxury SUV with a tiny bed slapped on the back then there’s no issue besides the insane price tag for what is supposed to be an abused work vehicle. I love that the Ford Maverick is a thing and somewhat popular but it’s the same problem with its crossover-sized midsection and teeny bed.
People buy trucks like they can’t get a hitch attached for cheap and just rent or borrow a trailer when they need it once a year at most.
I haven't really come across that issue, both styles are available in spades and most of the luxury vehicles are tow capable. I do live in texas tho
Tow capability isn’t the problem so much as the $70k+ price tag and the fact that many don’t even tow more than what a sedan can handle just fine. My dad’s STi tows the trailer just fine, ya know? The OG VW Beetle had a camper attachment specifically designed for it. And none of that even points out that vans are better work vehicles than trucks in basically every way including the fact that full-size vans are actually built on truck frames and can also tow just fine.
I see a LOT of trucks in Ontario and Quebec and when I see a real 8ft bed it’s rare enough to note. Pretty much all of them are 6ft, my friend’s dad who runs a lumber mill said the GM dealership practically told him to keep dreaming when he asked for a cheap replacement for his old S10(i.e. he asked for cloth seats and an 8ft bed; ya know, a work vehicle). Hell, when I do see a full bed it’s probably on a Toyota.
Yeah the tundras are beastly, i know in rural areas it's more common to find "fleet" trucks though. Basically work trucks with few extra add ons and longer beds. They exist but you gotta ask around. Here in houston they're rather common, we're surrounded by tons of industry and rural areas.
