Seriously it's the  most versatile vehicle type out there. ISIS uses the fuck out of them.

Americans love them (especially here in Oregon and Washington).

What's wrong Europe??

Anything left in the back of one would immediately be stolen.

I thought you had lower crime in Europe that we do?

Currently, I have 8 60lb bags of cement in the bed of my truck.

BTW, they make canopies for trucks if you're worried about things getting stolen.

  European countries are smaller than the U.S., no room on the streets for a big truck.  :zoinks:

We call them utes in Australia and they are very handy. My dad has one.

I don't need one. ISIS use tanks, too, but I don't need that either. :dunno:

  "Ute" meaning "utility vehicle," right?  8)

Vans are the hype here. And trailers. And a combination of those two.

Probably due to weather conditions and space issues.

Depends where you are. Round here, anything not locked up or nailed down gets carried away by gypsies or scabby Mancunian smackhead bastards.

Yes indeed. I wonder if ute owners here know that. ;)

My first vehicle was a small pick up truck. My mom liked the idea because it only seated two people, and since I was a wild child she figured my car would never be the party car.  :lol1:  I wouldn't recommend a truck to anyone who doesn't need one, because it sort of sucks to be the person people call when they need to move.

They call people with vans too :thumbdn:  As to the only two seat thing we used to just pile in the bed, I guess that would not work so well these days but we would up to 6 or 8 people back there.  I miss my truck some things are just so much easier to do with one than in a van

It was already illegal where I lived to drive around with people in the truck bed, so that would have been asking for unwanted attention. When we switched from a truck to an SUV we got a hitch rack, which I think is a genius invention.  :thumbup:

Too much rain. You leave anything in the back of one and it'll get soaked or nicked by some tosser.  :dunno:
