It's not only Ram's. I have seen a couple F-250's towing various things in Europe, though usually larger trailers like horse and race trailers.

Rams are just the most aggressive and american looking truck to the average Euro

How is that not just a truck though? What about this makes it a van, other than sharing a chassis and cab design?

Vans are typically ass for hauling motorcycles

Some of the newer vans with hightops work well, but they’re always expensive compared to a work truck
>>

other than it being sold as a cutaway van from the factory, nothing.

the cab design frees up about 2 feet of space so that frame has been shortened to put a truck bed on it...

Because once you cross a certain threshold of testosterone -- generally at the point you could consider natural levels for a male of 18 years or older -- you no longer want to main a slut-repelling utility device, and prefer to drive something with aggression and power that will have sluts guzzling your cock.

Dumbest take here.
They're lowering and easier to load into, and can actually protect your bike inside.

The boomoids and trustafarians buying the new ones seem to like them. No low range leads to TTD if you try to do off road truck stuff (steep or deep) but the new AWD systems work well on snowy highways and basic bitch dirt roads.

You've clearly never used a van to haul a bike, or used it for work. I think vans are just better for bikes. I'm trying to think of a downside.
>locked enclosure nobody can just hop in the back and take shit
>covered and weather protecting cargo
>theres plenty of room in most vans (except minivans) for 2 bikes. If you're really that gay just get a triple high Ford Transit. 6'1" floor to ceiling as the tallest version.
>can sleep in the back if you head out to the woods for bike stuff

theft prevention. as in a work vehicle parked in front of a jobsite in a shitty neighborhood.

>>28057386
Pickup is better for loading up with a ton of dirt or gravel for landscaping work, or for strapping down a bunch of oversized lumber and sheet goods that would be awkward to try to secure in the back of a van with the doors open.

I agree that a lot of people who buy trucks would be better off with a van, but then again most people who buy trucks would be better off with a fucking Camry so what can you do.

If you do that even once a month a dump bed/trailer makes much more sense. A van with a small dump trailer would shit all over a pickup.

Regular Car Reviews has a good profile of why people buy pickup trucks in his 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 video. Strongly suggest it to figure out why trucks>vans

t. own an f250 and nv200 for work
>>
It's worth mentioning that older trucks pre-nanny safety horseshit and before the only thing sold was crew cab garbage have insanely good visibility. Got a single cab mid-2000s Silverado and I have perfect visibility in every direction, it's awesome. SUVs had better visibility in the past than they do now too, but never this good.
