Europeans are not "blocking" US supersized pick up trucks, they are for sale here. We do not buy them because of three reasons.

1 - They are poorly made
2 - They are unreliable
3 - They are stupid

You forgot that bit.
A regular Toyota crewcab is a bit large if you want to take it to the store.
In its place they may be perfectly good, for most of Europe they're a bit like driving a rental truck every day.

Your streets tend to be narrow designed for much smaller vehicles or carriages long ago. Probably just not practical for the location.
US pickup trucks were made to be reliable over a decade or so ago, would run for 200K miles with basic oil change maintenance, but now they are not.
EPA regulations caused them to be increased in size to be classed outside of tighter fuel economy standards. Then came the choking exhaust and emissions systems. Finally, they tried using smaller turbo engines on these large vehicles while using very thin viscosity engine oils to meet regulations, and reliability went to complete garbage, even with trusted brands like Toyota. Politicians and legislature inflated sizes while killing reliability.

Home ownership rates in the US: 65,7%

Home ownership rates in Spain: 73,6%
Home ownership rates in Italy: 75,1%
Home ownership rates in Netherlands: 68,8%
Home ownership rates in Poland: 87,2%
Home ownership rates in Czechia: 75,1%
Home ownership rates in Romania: 93,2%
Home ownership rates in Lithuania: 88,8%

The simple fact is that they are not practical for small European roads and parking lots.

every land owner has a tractor and the weight limit for a traktor is high. Tractor trailers cant be towed by car. Tractors cost next to no tax, while a v8 pickup has the highest tax rates. The use case for a 3.5t limited pickup is almost nonexistant.

This
It’s the same reason literally everywhere in the US is wheelchair accessible while Europe is notoriously not so, 90 percent of the US was completely uninhabited until the 20th century
People forget that the Wild West was literally the last 19/early 20th century, it was barely 100 years ago while for instance the pantheon in Italy is 2000 years old

"Home" in europoor countries usually means an apartment in a commie block hellscape.

Narrow streets aren't some immutable characteristic that a country has like mountains and coastlines, It's just a matter of government policy. After the war plenty of cities were rebuilt with wide multi lane roads everywhere only for those roads to be narrowed or torn down completely later on.
You're 100% right about regulations though. That + cheap abundant oil + "bigger = better" mentality is why big pickups are so much popular in the US.

europe has such a thing called weather, and we've long deduced that the best way to protect cargo from weather is a van
americans sometimes have weather too but their brains are corn syrup and they keep going "how could this happen to me?" when they wak up to a drivable bathtub

Well we're not obsessed with invading Poland or unrestricted submarine warfare, Klaus. We still won both wars, so we get to do what we want to our yards.

The Polish people I know would like a BFO moat like the English have, they're going home because that is their home.

im rural and a land ovner, it makes no sense to own a pickup truck here. the typical farmer rig here is a caddy awd or a hilux 4x4.

Germany used to put at least 10-15% of their GDP into their own military. Up to 75% at the height of the world wars.
That's why they have nice healthcare and social welfare systems now. Just like the rest of Europe who don't run their countries like they used to. They've depended on the US for half a century. It's an odd thing how they're fairly intelligent, but have this huge blindspot.

you can compare the land ownership from my flag to yours and you get blamed. but we still dont drive pickups, we drive vans.
