Cool. I’ll think of that when another F150 is parked both on the sidewalk and bikepath because it can’t fit the parking spot.
These things are simply too large for European roads. And that is not even mentioning the road safety concerns.
A work truck does not have to be such a behemoth of a vehicle in order to be a practical work vehicle. You can get safer and smaller pickup trucks that can haul the same amount
(Or at the very least those used to exist)
It’s all about what fits the job. Minitrucks are super popular in the USA now, and the Toyota Tacoma (a little smaller than the Hilux) is worth so much used it has almost no depreciation even at 200,000 mi. Though the kind of work the F150 is meant for involves large things (wood beams, bulky equipment, looooong items, and so on) that are probably sized differently in Europe or are trailered instead, which makes it overkill over there to have an F150 if your stuff fits in a small van.

For that stuff we usually use Ford Transits which are massive as fuck
