Speaking as a Dutch person, our infrastructure just isn’t made for cars this size. People basically need to enlarge their driveways to park something like this. So if you need to park a car like this it’s almost impossible. That would stop most people from getting one, except the type of person that does buy one…
Seems to be what those in most of the US would call a standard size pickup truck. Not “compact” like a Hilux/Tacoma, nor comically oversized like the oft-lifted 3/4 or full-ton trucks.
Saw another post on here about how ridiculously oversized the Ranger parked next to them was. Had to laugh as an American, can’t even imagine how some of the 3500 brodozers you see here would look on a European street
Ute is also body on frame (in aus at least) but I would still call the oversized emotional support vehicles trucks instead of utes. That being said, most single cab utes have a bigger bed than a truck like an f150.
Ah my bad, in Europe we don’t see many of these cars. How would you call it? A truck?
of course the one person in europe who owns a pickup would park it on the sidewalk

You’re not ready for the F-350 with extended bed then
I mean, US infrastructure isn’t made for these beasts either.
I hate to say it, but that looks like a pretty small truck.

Hang on a sec a Hilux is considered a compact truck in America? That’s a big old car where I’m from…
Yup, it would be considered a compact like the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, ect

I’d call it worthless. I could fit more in my prius than the bed of that truck.
As the owner of a Subaru Baja, I call it an Ute. The short bed is useful to a point (hauling tanks of flammable fuel, etc) but not perfect.
If it’s not a body on frame vehicle, I wouldn’t call it a truck.
