Here in Europe, only craftsmen and gardeners maybe need a pickup, but otherwise it is highly impractical here.
The big problem is that some people egos don't fit into a normal sized car.
I'd love you to see what I load and compare to European trucks! The guys in lumber load some scary shit on "regular" trucks. The other night I was helping and the truck owner and my boss were like, "Yeah. Let's just stop and you can come back."
Guessing in Europe monster loads get moved by even bigger trucks, purpose built?
When spending time with my relatives in Vietnam told me one thing, then it is this: You don't need a truck to haul impressive amounts of stuff, you don't even need a station wagon... hell, you don't even need a CAR! A 125 ccm Honda moped with an determined rider can transport amzing loads of stuff.
Yes, purpose built. There aren't many uses for pickup trucks here when you can just get a normal 7.5 tonne truck. For an F350, you need a truck license in Europe anyways since it exceeds 3.5 tonnes. (yes curb weight is slightly below, but you exceed it as soon as you have more than just the driver.
