Why so butt devastated?
There's nothing wrong with it and it goes well with their freedom meme since a pickup doesn't have enclosure which could get in the way of the freedoms of the cargo

It's part of 'American culture'

99% of pickup owners would be better off with vans (including the retards that like a 'high rude height')

If you believe that then you have never seen Sprinter drivers on the Autobahn... I am fairy sure most of them are actual magicians casting physics-defying spells on their vehicles.

In the UK, pickups are getting extremely popular and many tradesman are buying them instead of vans.

ford used to sell 150k e-series vans per year

There not common for personal vehicles, but they are very common for commercial use
>>
>>14736284

It's happening, but slowly. Great Wall is a Chinese manufacturer of mainly pick up trucks and I see them somewhat frequently
>>
>>14736284
Really? Mitsubishi, Toyota and Nissan sell almost 300k pickups a year combined. Thats not counting Isuzu, VW, Ford/Mazda and other makers.

Its nowhere near the amount of vans, but you should know the pickup market in the UK has been stone fucking dead since the 60's save the occasional Peugeot or Hilux sold in the 80's.

>>14736284
I see Toyota pick-ups all the fucking time now.

Pickups don't pay 20% VAT so contractors buy them as work vehicles/DDs.
most indoor trades still use vans

Pickups of the same capacity are cheaper than vans, since they're not commercial vehicles by law.

Unless their gear NEEDS to be kept dry, a contractor will typically buy a pickup

I've actually been seeing more and more of these lately, a lot of businesses use them as delivery vehicles. The Ford Transit vans are popping up everywhere too.

Transit replace the E-Series and gets great mileage for a van

Dude, wtf? Are you showing a knife, because you are so buttblasted about british banter in this thread? Why Are you doing it in a public website about cars? I think your personal file is now more interesting. Enjoy your "freedom", sir.

>>14735502

Lot's of Americans drive vans.

The working ones in particular they tend to be the main van drivers.

What you should be wondering is why do American's drive pickups as cars as most pickups are used as such. They don't use them instead of vans, they use them instead of cars.

Or you could just mind your own damn business, and not worry about what other people spend money on.
